Chaplain
Norman Janis
Hillel Foundation (Jewish)

I serve as rabbinic advisor at “a place where people come to learn and stay to teach”—Hillel’s Worship & Study Congregation. We welcome those who are curious about Judaism, those who are discovering themselves as Jews, those who are uncertain about Jewish identity. We include students and faculty, staff and community. Some of us are Jewish educators and professors; others among us don’t yet know a word of Hebrew. We aim to be a gateway into Judaism.
