Holocaust Remembrance Night with Selma Rossen

Last night, in conjunction with the Rowan Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Rowan Hillel held Holocaust Rembrance night.  After a short service held to commemorate those we lost, we were honored to hear the story of Selma Rossen, who survived the Holocaust while growing up in Poland.  A crowd of around 100 people listened to the story of Selma’s family and their survival while escaping the Nazi’s.

Selma is the proud Grandmother of Hillel Treasurer Alex Rossen.

A Message to the Rowan Hillel Community about the SGA Org Fair and Yom Kippur

On September 20, Vice President Izzy Wellman and mysel met with members of the Student Government Association’s executive board: President Rbrey Singleton, Vice President Michael Webster, and Student Affairs representative Michael Viola. At this meeting we discussed the rescheduling of the Organization Fair to Yom Kippur, the holiest Jewish holiday, and the conflict that this rescheduling posed to the Jewish organizations on campus. Concerns were communicated and resolutions were offered by the SGA representatives. These resolutions included the introduction of an amendment to the SGA bylaws to make it so no SGA sponsored events can be held on major religious holidays as well as a promise to be more mindful about the days chosen for events to be held on.

We will continue to work with SGA on making sure there is follow through to this bylaws change, as well as how they can further assist us in the future.

Sincerely,

Ally Wasdick, ’18
Rowan Hillel President
