MCH Alumni Shabbat
Calling all MCH Alumni! Together with a group of former MCH students, we’ve created an Alumni Council so people can stay in touch with each other, and keep with them a small piece of what made Hillel so special. With that in mind we’re hosting our first event: an Alumni Shabbat! Friday, Feb 28, 2025, 6:30 pm @ the first floor of Silverstein Base Lincoln Park.
