📣 Shanah Tovah from Masorti On Campus! 📣

As we celebrate the start of a new year, we're reflecting on how far we've come since launching Masorti On Campus in 2013—and the exciting plans we have for the future! From hosting national student leadership Shabbatons to creating an Israel education curriculum and providing direct support through our microgrant program, we've empowered Masorti/Conservative students to build stronger Jewish communities on campuses around the world. 🙌

But we need your help to keep growing. Hillel International reached 180,000 Jewish students last year—the most ever! Yet, many Masorti/Conservative students aren't finding the community they need. This Rosh Hashanah, we're asking for your support to expand our reach, revive our national Shabbaton, and ensure every student can find their place.

💡 How You Can Help:
• Donate to Masorti On Campus and help us build the future of Jewish life on campus.
• Consider joining our new Advisory Board and helping shape the next decade of Masorti On Campus.

Donate Now: masorticampus.org/donate

Together, we can make sure Masorti/Conservative students thrive on campus. Thank you for your continued support, and Shanah Tovah U’Metukah to you and your loved ones! 🍎🍯
