Rabbi Yehuda Sarna is given "Richard M. Joel Exemplar of Excellence Award" by Hillel International
Each year, a select few Hillel professionals from around the world are given this prestigious award. For his contributions to our community, Rabbi Sarna was recognized this year. Below is an excerpt from the text read during the awards ceremony:
"Hired to work primarily with Orthodox students, Rabbi Sarna?s efforts have led to a phenomenal growth of all Jewish denominations on campus, making The Bronfman Center for Jewish Life at NYU a magnet for Jewish life. Through the use of intellectual and experiential learning, he has inspired students who had never before engaged in Jewish study to discover how Judaism is relevant to their lives. He organized one of the first public rallies raising awareness of genocide in Darfur and traveled with a group of students to the Gulf Coast following hurricanes Katrina and Rita. When tragedy struck at Virginia Tech, Sarna traveled there with students to provide counseling, show solidarity and to offer any help needed."
Please join the community in congratulating and thanking Rabbi Sarna!
