| For all who are hungry for Jewish meaning in this season, Hillel at Virginia Tech provides the familiar foods, symbols, rituals and a "home away from home." If you are not familiar with Hillel's Seder, it is hands down our most popular event of the year. This event brings together both students and community here in Blacksburg for a time to talk and get to know each other. Most students just enjoy having a night following in their traditions. |
