Peter J. Reubenstein Reform Senior Jewish Educator

Jul 2023 - Present
As the Reform SJE of Brandeis Hillel, I uplift and support my students in exploring their connection to Judaism. Through informal teaching, facilitating cohort learning experiences, helping plan and lead Shabbat and holiday services, and having one-on-ones with students, I hope to encourage active participation in the Jewish community at Brandeis and beyond, be a mentor and guide for the students who need it, and be a role model of positive Jewish experience.
