Hillel L'Dor V'Dor 2022
Sunday, February 27th // 5:00pm

At the event, we will be honoring community members Chuck & Barbara Taubman for their devotion to Hillel of Silicon Valley and to the community. In addition, we are honoring Dr. Tammi Rossman Benjamin, lecturer at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and the co-founder and director of AMCHA Initiative, a non-profit organization devoted to investigating, documenting, educating about, and combating campus antisemitism in America.
 
In addition, consistent with this year’s theme, we are thrilled to recognize the bravery of Katelyn Pan, Past President of De Anza College’s Associated Student Body, together with nine current and former Hillel students who led efforts to combat anti-resolutions being proposed, and ultimately passed on their campuses. These students attended and spoke on behalf of Israel at numerous student council meetings, wrote letters, and mobilized campus and community members.
