watching my friends catch up with people
they grew up with in middle school, high
school or BBYO who are now spread out
at different schools.
Zoe Kaufman, GVSU Hillel president,
is this year’s Women’s Inspire intern. She
asked all to wear pink this Shabbat to
raise awareness for breast cancer. “It is
important for Jewish students to connect
across our respective campuses — to
strengthen our bonds, not only as minori-
ties, but as leaders as well,” she said.
Each Hillel hosts Shabbat dinners, but
this Shabbat, we added four other cam-
puses from around the state. We talked
about the Jewish communities at each
campus, our Jewish identities and become
closer friends with each other.
Coming from a small organization,
it was great to see a large turnout for
Shabbat with more than 30 people in
attendance.

TOMORROW’S
INNOVATION

Hosting events like this, which allow
us to connect with the other campuses,
benefits us all. As we work together, we
can get event ideas, leadership advice,
compare experiences, and gain an overall
sense of support and collaboration.
If one of our campuses were to face
an anti-Semitic or anti-Israel incident,
although we are unable to be there in
person, we can show our support and let
them know they are not alone.
Our plan is to continue to have HCAM
events between our campuses to get to
know each other better and support one
another. With the collaboration of HCAM,
we can help strengthen and grow our
organizations as well as become more
well-known within our communities. @
