ABOUT HILLEL

Staff:

Clara Silver, Executive Director Clara is thrilled to be the Executive Director of Hillel at EMU. Originally from Amherst, New York, she graduated from Wells College and spent three undergraduate semesters at New York University.  Her degree is in Theater and Dance, which is useful for her as the Cantorial Soloist for Temple Beth Israel of Jackson, Michigan.  Her true loves are supporting EMU students in building a vibrant Jewish campus community, and warm, fudgy forms of chocolate. Clara is proud to lead Hillel at EMU as an independent foundation affiliated with Hillel: The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life in Washington, D.C. She looks forward to seeing even more Jewish students at EMU in the years to come. Having sworn off caffeine, alcohol, or any other sort of damaging substance, she now depends on the energy of the Jewish students at EMU to keep things lively. She loves to study and explore Judaism but also loves an irreverent joke (in good taste, of course). Introduce yourself when you see Clara around campus - you can't miss the red hair.
