Good Luck to USF Hillel Alumnus Nicole Shore!

Nicole Shore graduated from the University of South Florida in 2009. She was very active at Hillel and helped to expand Jewish life during her time here on campus. Nicole went on Birthright with Hillel in 2008 and–as some people might say–that is where the journey began.

About two months ago, Nicole purchased her one-way ticket to Israel, enrolling in programs through Oranim and MASA. She will be posting a blog throughout her travel and we encourage you to follow her as she has recently landed in Israel, eager to begin her new path.

You can follow Nicole through the Let My People Grow website.

Read what some of our Young Alums have to say about USF Hillel:

Bennie Cohen, USF College of Arts & Sciences, 2002

“I would like to thank Hillel for giving me the opportunity to explore Israel through Birthright on the USF Community Trip Bus.”
“Hillel gave me an opportunity to network, grow, and enjoy Jewish life on campus.”

Mandy Rosenblum, USF College of Education, 2008

“I am so thankful to have been a part of Hillel at USF. I met people who share an unspoken commonality, and I had the opportunity to introduce others to the Hillel family. As a teacher, Hillel has certainly contributed to my understanding of various cultures.”
