We’re now on Day Three of Hillel Global Giving Week, and today we’re proud to spotlight one of the cornerstone programs at Hopkins Hillel: OU-JLIC.

OU-JLIC (the Orthodox Union’s Jewish Learning Initiative on Campus) is at the heart of Orthodox life at Johns Hopkins. Through our partnership with the Orthodox Union, we are fortunate to have Rabbi Moshe and Saara Moskowitz living within our campus community, creating a true “home away from home” for our students.

The Moskowitzes bring Jewish life to campus in meaningful and accessible ways: engaging lunch-and-learns (often paired with Rabbi Moshe’s signature BBQ), and Thursday night Mishmar learning and scholar-in-residence programs, complete with Rabbi Moshe’s famous cholent. They anchor the week with Shabbat day Torah learning and warmly welcome students into their home to close out Shabbat with Seudah Shlish*t. Beyond programming, they provide invaluable mentorship and pastoral support, building lasting relationships with our students.

As an OU-JLIC campus, Hopkins Hillel is responsible for securing the funding that makes this initiative possible. Your generosity ensures we can continue to provide these essential Jewish experiences for our students.

Please consider making a gift today. Every dollar earmarked for OU-JLIC at Hopkins goes directly toward ensuring our students have access to Torah learning, Shabbat, and chagim, pastoral support, and a thriving Jewish community week in and week out. As alumni and friends who have seen the impact of JLIC firsthand, we know how much it matters. Let’s keep that impact going for this generation of Hopkins students and the next.

As we kick off Day 2 of Hillel Global Giving Week, we are proud to shine a spotlight on one of the most powerful and inspiring parts of our community—our Hopkins Hillel alumni.

From campus leaders to global changemakers, our alumni embody the values, connections, and Jewish pride that define Hopkins Hillel. They carry forward the experiences, friendships, and leadership skills they cultivated here into every corner of the world, strengthening Jewish communities, advancing meaningful careers, and making a lasting impact.

Today, we celebrate their journeys and the role Hopkins Hillel has played in shaping them. Whether it was Shabbat dinners, leadership roles, Israel experiences, or simply finding a sense of belonging, Hillel has been a foundation for so many.

To our incredible alumni: we invite you to pay it forward. Your gift during Global Giving Week is more than a donation, it is an investment in the next generation of Jewish leaders. By giving back, you ensure that today’s students have access to the same transformative experiences, mentorship, and community that helped shape your journey.

Your support ensures that today’s students have the same opportunities to grow, lead, and connect as the alumni we celebrate today. Every gift helps us:
Foster vibrant Jewish life on campus
Support student leadership and innovation
Create meaningful Jewish experiences that last a lifetime

Together, we are building a legacy—one student, one alum, one story at a time.

Thank you for being part of our community and for investing in the future of Jewish life at Hopkins.
