    Learning Opportunities

    It is for good reason that the Jewish people are called – "People of the Book". Learning is a core value in Judaism, so at our Auraria Hillel, we offer classes that take Jewish learning and make it fun!

    A Note from Lauren Behm

    Director of Jewish Student Life

    Lauren Behm
    Shalom – I say this not only as a "Hello" but also as a wish for peace to you. We live in an ever-changing world of ups and downs and I am grateful to have the opportunity to help you find your way through them in the flow of college. We at Auraria Hillel explore how our ancient Jewish traditions can be applied to the modern world through learning, song, food, and community! As the Director of Jewish Student Life, I am excited to embark on Jewish exploration with the Auraria student body. I look forward to getting to know you, so please reach out! I am only an email, phone call, or text message away from sharing a "shalom."
