This Winter break Hillel is organizing it's first ever trip to Iparica, Brazil. Students will spend a week on the Island of Iparica off the coast of Salvador, Brazi, spend time exploring the birth place of Macumba (black magic), and in addition to daily services, discussing topics such as; International Jewish culture and history, Judaism and post-graduation, and an intensive study of Jewish life in Latin and South America.
SPRING BREAK
Texas A&M Hillel now offers an exciting spring break travel opportunity.
This Spring Break trip is organized by Hillel Rabbi Peter Tarlow, and brings students to the heart of the Peruvian jungle where they help build a Jewish Community. You can read about last year's trip by clicking here, and can see photos here.
Both trips to Brazil and Peru are part of Hillel's Leading, Learning, and Succeeding Jewish Travel Series. These experiences are an incredible opportunity for our students to learn about the International Jewish Community, get to know each other and form strong bonds with their fellow Jewish Aggies, and contribute to the development and unification of Jewish communities around the world. We are currently in the process of raising funds for these trips and need your help! If you would like to donate to these trips please visit our paypal page below. We appreciate any and all support of these invaluable programs.
