What is this Blog?????

When the school was “all virtual, all the time” during the first year of the pandemic, our Engagement and Programming Associate at the time, Chloe Goldstein, created a blog called “Lehigh Hillel: Healing and Wholeness”. This was a way to connect with the community and provide support during the days of lock down, etc. After Chloe left, the blog was continued by Raya Kazdam, our interim Engagement and Programming Associate.

Now that we are fully in-person, we have not been using the blog. However, we wanted the posts to be available for people to see. It just gives you a little taste of what we were doing during those difficult times. And, I’m sure you’ll find some of the posts enlightening still.

There are posts about handlings stress, Jewish women’s history, and also recordings of most of the weekly online mindfulness meditation sessions led by Rabbi Steve.

I hope you find something meaningful as you peruse what is basically a digital time capsule of a strange and challenging year.

L’shalom,
