MIT Hillel

[rhu]

So Thursday night I attended my first board meeting for MIT Hillel. It was interesting; I've been on several non-profit boards and I must say that I was very impressed by the businesslike way that it seems to be run.

It feels good to be giving back to the MIT community again. When I was a student, it was a point of pride that I spent time contributing time to various service activities (UMOC, SIPB, etc.) and it's nice to once again be able to do that.

It was also interesting walking across campus feeling like I had more of a connection to the 'Tute again. I'm not just an alumnus anymore, but I have a role in the larger scheme of things.

Do you attend services at MIT HIllel? Are they open to community members who don't have an MIT connection?

I haven't attended services at MIT in ages. (It's a bit far to walk in from Newton, although I'm considering doing so over the Shabbat of Mystery Hunt/Arisia.)

But one of the points that was made at the board meeting the other night was that Hillel serves members of the Cambridge community who do not have an official connection with MIT. (And that this is a good thing.)

Nice of you to make room for another project in your schedule!
