    Listen to the Ceremony (approx. 1 hour), which includes a debut performance of Kol Hanesher, Emory's very own Jewish a cappella group, leading the room in the Shecheyanu.

    "The Hillel Experience"

    After the ceremony, visitors got a taste of Hillel's meaningful Jewish experiences by connecting with college students in one of a variety of special interactive discussions, workshops, and creative projects throughout the center.



    "Hillel Inspires Me…"
    Throughout the Center were eight stations with students whose stories of personal Jewish growth at Hillel were an inspiration to all. Visitors spent a few minutes engaging with each of them in conversation to experience Hillel in new and dynamic ways.
