Class of 2023

Ron Barzilay — Tohar Zamir, Ben Karni

Pictured: Tohar Zamir, Ben Karni

A legendary Purim bash with me dressed as IKEA man, Tohar as the Campanile, Ben as a Bamba baby. Hillel was my place to express myself, embrace my Israeli and Jewish identity, and always find myself laughing with friends I have to this day. We persisted through a year and a half of experiencing that just through screens during the pandemic, and it was so joyous to return in person, where I spent so many hours at the front desk as a DOFI.
