On March 17th Hillel of Silicon Valley held our annual event, L'Dor V'Dor. It was a wonderful opportunity to honor and recognize both our community and student honorees.  Please click  here to view pictures from the event. 
For those of you who wished you had bid on the "Jeff Cable Photography Session" valued at $450 and the "Contemporary Jewish Museum One Year Membership and Private Tour" valued at $445 but didn't, you are in luck! They are still both available and you can start bidding at $225. It is your last chance to snag a bargain and support Hillel! Kindly email your bids (or questions) to Sarita Bronstein at Director@hillelsv.org.
