What Our Students Are Saying

The Brody Jewish Center has provided me a warm and welcoming environment that is unlike any other. I always know that when I come to a Hillel event, I will be welcomed with open arms.  The Brody Jewish Center has become my home away from home.  
- Daniel Novick, '12 McIntire
The Brody Jewish Center has given me the Jewish community for which I have always searched.  It is  a community I can laugh with at shared meals on Friday nights and holidays, and it is also a community that has challenged me politically, religiously, and spiritually. ​
- Ally Dreiman, '12 CLAS
