Voices of UMBC Hillel

Written by Elizabeth Pastwa (Hillel Student Organization Co-President)


UMBC Hillel has a lot to offer – here are the top five reasons to come hang with Hillel! 

5. Free Food 

Let’s be honest, if you’re in college then this is one of your top priorities. And between Aliza Silverman, our Hillel Engagement Associate and "hired Jewish mother", there is plenty of free food, both at our free weekly Shabbat dinners and the rest of the week! The office is always stocked with snacks, and students can make requests. Beyond these options, there are opportunities to get lunch with Hillel staff and leadership, so you can get food and company!

4. Variety

UMBC Hillel hosts a variety of different events throughout the semester, and we'd love to work with you to create the events you want to us! Examples include costume Shabbat, game night, and movie with discussion. Let us know what you’re interested in and we can work with you to make it happen! Contact Aliza, Rabbi Jeremy, or the student leadership with your ideas.

3. Being There For Each Other

Sure, this sounds generic, but hear me out! Whether it’s sitting in the office and sharing TikToks, or venting in the Hillel community WhatsApp about annoyances from your week. you’ll find a group of people that take the word “community” seriously. We don’t just want Hillel to be a club, we want you to be a part of our family! During your time at UMBC, however short or long, we want to help create the community you want to see. That includes being there to meet you at whatever level you want or need. Whether you just come to Shabbat or you’re at every event, we’ll be happy to see you! 

2. The Rabbi

The meme. The myth. The legend. Spend enough time with Hillel and you’ll understand why the UMBC Hillel Rabbi, Jeremy Fierstein has
a reputation for his humor and great leadership. Whether you go to him for something serious or something silly, he’ll hear you out and is will do what he can to help you. Jeremy is a friendly face at UMBC, and he (as well as the student leadership) will do what they can to
make sure you feel welcome!

1. No Judgement

UMBC Hillel is a no-judgement zone, with zero toleration for bigotry. Feel free to be yourself and to explore your identity as you explore college and the experiences that come with it! We want you to feel welcome, but more than that we want you to be yourself. After all, no one else is going to be you!

Looking to get involved in Hillel? We are holding an information session for incoming students and parents on Tuesday, June 30th from 4–5 PM; sign up today! Already a student at UMBC? Fill out our interest form and we'll send you more information on getting involved!

As UMBC plans to welcome a limited number of students, faculty, and staff back to our physical campus this summer and into the fall, the Fall Planning Coordinating Committee has created a Return to On-Campus Work Plan. This plan lays out several phases and provides departments tools to request campus access for vital services. We anticipate remote work continuing for the majority of employees for the foreseeable future.  

We know that this continues to be a challenging time for many in our community and their families. This plan has been designed to prioritize the well-being of employees and the safety of the work environment. In addition, the plan will be adapted as our understanding of COVID-19 evolves.
The plan emphasizes several core concepts for moving forward:
We are currently in Phase 1 of the plan – Summer Pilot Research Activities and Preparation for Limited Return to Campus (June 15 - August 2, 2020). During Phase 1, employees who can effectively work remotely will continue to do so. A limited number of employees are working on campus, including some faculty who have been approved to return to work on campus for research and creative achievement purposes. Visitors and students not approved to be on campus are strongly discouraged from coming to campus.  

Phase 2 will begin on August 3, 2020. During Phase 2, most employees will continue remote work. A limited number of faculty and staff will work on campus to offer specific services that support the student experience, research and creative achievement, and campus operations. Only those employees who have received the necessary return to on-campus work approval will be permitted to work on campus.

Please visit the updated Employees section of the Retrievers Return website to view the plan in its entirety. The site includes information on the process supervisors and department heads can use to create and submit a Return to On-Campus Work application. It also provides information on safety standards that will be required of departments with returning employees, as well as accommodation processes for employees who may be unable to return to campus. We will be updating the website regularly and adding additional information on health and safety precautions and resources. There are also a variety of supports and resources available on the website for employees and their families. 

Next week, shared governance groups are hosting two town halls with members of the Fall Planning Coordinating Committee. The Faculty Senate is hosting a town hall on Tuesday, June 30, at 3:30 p.m., and the Professional Staff Senate and the Non-Exempt Staff Senate are hosting one on Wednesday, July 1, at 4 p.m. Login information for both is available here.

If you have questions about this plan and your individual situation, we encourage you to first reach out to your supervisor to discuss your concerns and understand their future plans for your team. If you have additional concerns, or wish to discuss a situation confidentially, please reach out to Human Resources.

We wish to take this opportunity to provide an update, resources for those affected, and affirm our university value of welcoming inspiring and inquisitive minds from all backgrounds.

Recent Developments
We were heartened that the Supreme Court ruled that the Department of Homeland Security could not dismantle the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which permits qualified people who arrived in the United States as children to work, study, and remain in the U.S. on a renewable permit. Our commitment to helping these students succeed is unchanged.

In addition, there have been a series of executive actions aimed at reducing access to the U.S. for international community members and their families. A Presidential Proclamation issued on June 22 prohibits those seeking H, J, and L visas from entering the U.S. with certain exceptions. International Education Services (IES) has compiled information regarding this and other relevant executive actions on its website and is available to answer specific questions from students, faculty, and staff. International students, faculty, and staff are an essential and treasured part of our UMBC community and we are looking forward to continuing that connection in the fall, even as the current pandemic is requiring physical distance between us. 

Community Support
We know that this is a stressful time for those who are impacted by these decisions and we encourage you to seek support. IES will be hosting a virtual town hall on Monday, June 29, at 3 p.m. eastern for anyone in the UMBC community who would like more information about these decisions.  

Students in need of emotional support are encouraged to contact the Counseling Center. Community members in need of a safe space for advocacy and relationship-building are encouraged to contact the Mosaic Center. Faculty and staff can access individual support through our Employee Assistance Program. If you feel you have been affected by racism, discrimination, or xenophobia, please know that the Office of Equity and Inclusion is available to support you.

Travel Updates
Given recent U.S. and foreign government policy actions regarding immigration matters, reduced availability of commercial flights, and the changing spread of the virus, ongoing travel restrictions and mandatory quarantines will continue to make travel to and from other countries risky and difficult. Following guidance from the Governor, all University-related out-of-state travel for faculty, students, and staff is currently suspended.  For safety purposes, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention continues to recommend against all nonessential international travel. Considering all of these circumstances, we caution our community against personal international travel at this time in order to avoid problems with reentry.   ]]> In recent weeks, there have been a series of developments related to immigration and international travel policies that affect our community.
