    This week I sat down with one of my favorite people in the world, Berkeley Hillel's Director of Engagement, Molly Shapiro. Molly welcomes students into the Hillel community, staffs Hillel's Birthright trips, and supports students through everything that they go through at this time in their lives. Berkeley Hillel is immensely lucky to have her and I was immensely lucky to get a chance to chat with her about her childhood, what brought her to Berkeley Hillel, and what she loves about working here.As always, check out berkeleyhillel.org for more information about Berkeley Hillel's upcoming events.
