CULTIVATING JEWISH LIFE ON CAMPUS AND IN THE COMMUNITY
Dear Friends,
The success of any organization or
business isn’t dependent upon one
person - it’s “team work” that makes
any group excel. That’s exactly how it
is at Cleveland Hillel.
It’s our hard working staff, our
student leaders and participants,
Board of Trustees, donors, the
Jewish Federation of Cleveland and
the faculty and staff on the campuses
we serve that makes Cleveland Hillel
what it is.
This past year, through everyone’s
collaboration, we provided more than
524 undergraduate programs on
the CWRU, Cleveland State, Oberlin
and John Carroll campuses and
another 53 programs for graduate
students and young professionals.
Jewish undergraduate and graduate
students from The Cleveland
Institute of Art, Cleveland Institute
of Music, Ursuline, Baldwin Wallace,
Notre Dame, Cuyahoga Community
College and Lakeland Community
Colleges are invited and encouraged
to attend our programs too.
Perhaps the most exciting leap
forward this past year has been the
successful fundraising and planning
for our new Hillel building, next door
to our current home. We expect to
move into the new Norma and Albert
Geller Hillel Student Center at Case
Western Reserve University
in 2015! We are
grateful to the
Gellers for their
magnanimous
gift, the help
and support of CWRUs Development
staff, Brian Sokol, Chuck Miller
and Bruce Loessin and, as always,
President Barbara Snyder. The
Building Committee chair, Harvey
Siegel, the Campaign chair, Bill
Heller and past president Zack
Paris, have given hundreds of hours
toward making this dream closer to
reality for our students. I can’t thank
them enough. As always, The Jewish
Federation of Cleveland has been
a fabulous partner in this, and all
of our efforts. While we are getting
closer to our campaign goal, we still
have a way to go and look forward to
speaking with anyone interested in
making a capital campaign gift.
The new Norma & Albert Geller
Hillel will provide increased visibility
for Hillel with a main entrance on
Euclid Avenue. The 12,000 square
foot center will provide places for
students to mingle, socialize, study,
enjoy multi-faceted programming
and attend holiday and Shabbat
services. The outdoor plaza will
increase our connection to the CWRU
campus and allow everyone to take
advantage of green space. Flexible
classrooms will accommodate
hundreds of students for multiple
activities during the academic year.
We will also have a kosher food
option.
Hillel hosted two new programs for
the community and students this
year. The first, held in the fall, was
“Crossroads to Future”, a look at the
job market in Cleveland today and
With Blessings,
Nancy K. Levin, President
tomorrow. Upper classmen learned
how professional fields will interconnect and what job opportunities
will exist for those who choose to
call Cleveland home. The spring
program, “Campus Super Stars,”
gave vocal and instrumental music
students the stage to perform and
win monetary prizes. We have
already begun working to enhance
these programs, and others, for the
upcoming school year!
I’d like to welcome our interim
Executive Director, Jordan Rothkopf,
our new Undergraduate Jewish
Student Life Director, Matt Newman
and our new Israel Fellow, Sapir
Shimony. I know these dynamic
professionals will find working
with our “seasoned” pros Jill Ross,
Andrea Weiser, Kim Littman and
Kathleen McCarthy in Cleveland
and Rabbi Shimon Brand, Samia
Mansour & new program associate
Isabel Sherrel in Oberlin. Together
this “village” of professionals will
continue to provide creative and
stimulating programming to all of the
students and young professionals we
serve. I look forward to welcoming
you all at the events we have planned
for the new building.
As always, I thank everyone involved
in making Cleveland Hillel what it
is. Thank you for your generosity of
time, work and financial support.
Most importantly, THANK YOU for
your continued support of Jewish
student life and all that it means to
the future of the Jewish people.

Hillel Students at the Kosher Rib Burnoff
Students from Case Western Reserve, Cleveland State and John Carroll Universities and Oberlin
College work with staff members to plan and execute their social, cultural, community, Israeli
and Judaic programming. The student population at each school has varying program interests so
scheduling and developing diverse programs to meet those needs is skillfully planned by Hillel staff
and students. Many of the Jewish undergraduate students who attend the Cleveland Institute of
Music and Cleveland Institute of Art participate in the CWRU Hillel events while Jewish students at
Lakeland, Ursuline, Notre Dame, Tri C, and Baldwin Wallace have an option of which Hillel programs
they chose to participate in.
“I feel like Hillel is synonymous with community. Without it, I wouldn’t have felt so supported in the
expression of my Jewish identity.” Nichole Simonivic, John Carroll University, class of 2016
“Without Hillel, I wouldn’t have had anywhere to go for Shabbat dinners. Hillel allows me to connect
with other Jews on campus and maintain my Jewish identity” Becca Dreyer, CWRU, class of 2014
“Ever since I came to Case, I have found Hillel to be a ‘home away from home’. It has provided me
with countless meals, allowed me to celebrate the holidays with peers in a way that is most unique,
been a place to rest between classes and given me friends for life. I’m looking forward to being a part
of JCLE as I begin my Master’s Degree at Case.” Mathew Barkan, CWRU, class of 2014
John Carroll Hillel students participated In a University sponsored diversity panel
Banoti, our women’s programming group, picked apples for Rosh Hashanah.
CUTTING
EDGE
Hillel @ Oberlin
Past & current Hillel chairs
Oberlin Hillel provides students a way to connect with their
Jewish identity in a variety of ways including celebrating
Shabbat and holidays, attending a variety of religious
services, helping run and participate in the Kosher-Halal
Co-op, joining a variety of student groups like the Oberlin
Zionists and the Jewish Women’s Group and becoming
involved in many cultural, artistic and religious activities.
Special lectures, visiting scholars and mini-courses on an
array of topics, round out a stimulating environment for
Jewish students at Oberlin.
The first all-night Passover seder was held
“Hillel is a real community that helped me feel comfortable and accepted in my first year at Oberlin.
I got to explore Jewish practices and values with a group of people who are passionate about those
things and want to build a vibrant Jewish life. It feels great to be a part of a group that cares so much
about the things we do and supports one another.” Talia Rodwin, Oberlin College, class of 2017
The annual Muslim – Jewish community picnic held at the beginning & end of each school year
Challah Cappella is Oberlin’s first and only Jewish a cappella group.

JCLE/
Graduate
Students
Over 200 young professionals attend the annual JCLE Masquerade celebrating Purim.
The Jooze Cruise sailed the Cuyahoga and Lake Erie with 140 young professionals.
JCLE volunteers at Race for the Place benefits The Gathering Place.
JCLE, now in its fourth year, is one of
Cleveland Hillel’s newer programs. It
provides an array of activities for 21-29
year old graduate students and young
professionals living in Cleveland. By
participating in social programming,
sporting events, civic engagement opportunities,
networking opportunities and Shabbat dinners and
holiday celebrations, JCLE reaches out to students and young
professionals new to Cleveland as well as those who have
been in town for a while.
The Heart of Rock and Roll at the House of Blues was a smashing success!
“My favorite Hillel programs were graduate student Shabbat dinners. Without Hillel, I wouldn’t have
had a social network in Cleveland beyond graduate school. To me Hillel is synonymous with “gezellig”,
which is a Dutch word meaning everything from cozy to friendly, from comfortable to relaxing and from
enjoyable to gregarious. It connotes time spent with loved ones, seeing a friend after a long absence or
general togetherness.” Shira Strauss, Case Western Reserve University, JD, 2014
“JCLE is a great opportunity for young Jewish people to meet in a social setting. As someone new to
Cleveland, JCLE events are an easy way to see what Cleveland has to offer. Without Hillel, I wouldn’t
have had a place to celebrate Passover and the High Holidays.” Alex Apple, CWRU Dental Student
PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT
Summer
Internship
Program
A community service component is a part of the SIP program
The Summer Internship Program, celebrating its 7th year, places rising
college juniors and seniors in paid internships in Cleveland area businesses
and non-profit organizations for ten weeks during the summer. The program
provides a great way for students to gain professional skills while stimulating
interest in careers and life in Cleveland, so they will choose to return after
they graduate. An engaging orientation, wonderful professional experiences,
opportunities to experience Cleveland in a unique way, chances to socialize,
volunteer and work with their peers and meeting business leaders in town
are all important components of the Summer Internship Program.

“Before the summer started, I began to question my decision to stay in Cleveland for the summer but by the time it was over, I
knew I made the right decision. I had an opportunity unparalleled to my friends in other cities working at the NRP Group. The
opportunity to meet people who are so invested in various aspects of Northeast Ohio made me realize all that Cleveland has to
offer professionally and culturally.” Jared Rubin, University of Indiana, class of 2015
“The Cleveland Hillel Summer Internship Program presented me with a great opportunity to utilize my technical skills in an
environment that provided me with experience that I plan on using for years to come. I met other interns, like myself, and
together we were able to discover how great of a city Cleveland truly is. Best of all, I was able to engage with other Jewish
students which gave me a sense of belonging, something I cannot say about most internships.”
Alec Torch, Ohio University, class of 2016
Program & Special Events
During the Year
CROSSROADS TO THE FUTURE
Held on October 16, 2013, Crossroads to the Future looked at Cleveland today and tomorrow through a lively
panel discussion. The speakers also discussed the high quality of life in Greater Cleveland and explained the
many job opportunities that will be available for those young adults who choose to remain in Cleveland after
they graduate or return to Cleveland. Panelists included Stephanie Y. McHenry, Vice President for Business
Affairs & Finance at Cleveland State University, Dr. David C. Kaelber, MD, PhD, FAAP and FACP, an internist,
pediatrician, Chief Medical Informatics Officer of the Metrohealth System and Director of the Center for
Clinical Informatics Research and Education, Jonathan Leiken, partner at Jones Day and Chair of the Board
of the Cleveland metropolitan Bar Association and Oleg Fridman, who with his partners, all recent graduates
of Case Western Reserve University, co-founded ONOSYS, an online restaurant ordering company, recently
purchased by LivingSocial. The event, held at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History was attended by 125
community members and students.
CAMPUS SUPER STARS
Cleveland Hillel joined the list of several other
Hillels across the country when it invited vocal and
instrumental music students from area universities
to participate in Campus Super Stars. Auditions were
held in March and the top ten acts were invited to
compete for prizes on April 10th at Night Town where
Brendan Ring, the owner of Night Town, served as
the Master of Ceremonies. Over 100 sponsors and
friends of Hillel watched the incredible talent as
Susan Bengston, Eric Graf and Jaewon Kim won first,
second and third prizes, respectively.
Serving as judges for the evening were Erin Cameron
Miller, the General Manager of Cain Park and Donald
Rosenberg, former music critic of the Plain Dealer
and immediate past president of the Music Critics
Association of North America.
Campaign for the Albert &
Norma Geller Hillel
Student Center at Case
Western Reserve University
Norma & Albert Geller
Hillel’s new student center, is scheduled to open in 2015, replacing the
current home which opened in 1972. The building, which provides a
prominent spot fronting Euclid Avenue, will provide a “home away from
home” for the growing number of Jewish students attending CWRU, as
well as neighboring Cleveland Institute of Art, Cleveland Institute of Music
and students from the eight other colleges and universities Cleveland
Hillel serves. The new building will perpetuate and enrich the legacy of the
Cleveland Hillel Foundation.
The opportunity to help create a new, vibrant Hillel student center is deeply
rewarding to the Albert and Norma Geller. We are so very grateful to them
for their exceptional gift.
As Al often says, “You only go through life once,
so make a difference!”
