Over 20 students came to Hillel SV for the return of Hump Day Hummus! Students helped to prepare the food alongside Daniel. Our first Shabbat of the semester was also our Tu B'shevat Seder. The seder was led by Mishelanu, a Jewish-American-Israeli organization for college students. Over 60 students feasted on a fruit-themed home-cooked meal.
