Hillels of Westchester held it's first program on Thursday October 27th at Sarah Lawrence College with guest speaker Jodie Gordon discussing "Is the Old Testament Sexist? Were women Valued?"  A second presentation, "Getting Paid what You're Worth" followed on Thursday, November 3rd at Purchase College. This presentation is a collaboration between Alison Trachtman Hill and Jason Hill and presented strategies for job searching, resume building, and salary negotiation for the contemporary job market. These first two events address both the ancient Jewish world as well as current economic concerns. Hillel students weighed in on a variety of topics they found most relevant to their own lives and would draw the largest student audiences. Featured in the picture are Sarah Lawrence student Beka Breitzer, Purchase College student Zora Gussow, and grant facilitator Alison Trachtman Hill. Events include dinner and are opened to the public. Hillels of Westchester is grateful to the Neshamot Committee for awarding us this grant. The Neshamot Committee is a unique grant awarding arm within the UJA Federation of Westchester.
