President Jameson met with a group of students this week at Penn Hillel. Students shared all of the ways that Jewish students are integrated into every aspect of campus life - athletics, performing arts, academics, pre-professional, social, and more. They also shared about the joys - and remaining challenges - of being proud Jews on campus.

Over spring break, we traveled to Greece for our Alternative Spring Break trip, where students learned about the Jewish histories of Athens, Ioannina, and Thessaloniki and how they were affected by the Holocaust. We asked two of our students about their experience on the trip:
Ethan Weiser (C’26): “As an American Jew with Greek-Jewish heritage, I’ve always struggled feeling like I completely saw myself and connected to the stories of the Holocaust within Ashkenazi-dominated communities in the US. Coming to Greece (particularly seeing Ioannina, where my family is from) brought me so so much closer to my own identity and family story.
I think the trip to Thessaloniki in particular opened up an entirely new chapter of the Jewish story to many of us on the trip. Coming on an alternative spring break gave me a rare opportunity to connect with my Greek-Jewish identity and learn about the incredibly deep history of Jews in a new place. As the Jewish population of Greece (and many other countries) fades, these trips become even more vital to understand and remember the stories of these communities.”
Sophie Krivitsky (C’29): “I am very grateful that Hillel did this trip to Greece, and especially that we were able to explore Ioannina, the city where my family is from. It was really cool to be able to view everything through a Jewish lense and really think about it in a way connected to my family’s history, rather than just seeing the sights. The trip was really meaningful to me, and I feel a lot closer to my history and ancestry because of it. This was an amazing opportunity!”
