Brooklyn College
This Sunday I will be going to the Tanger Hillel at Brooklyn College to do our yearly Passover Deliveries to the Elderly. Bags have been getting packed all week, and we are ready to go out to the hundreds of people that are on our lists. These lists include Holocaust survivors and home-bound, among many …
The National Weather Service has pinged your phone with those “DANGER FLOOD WARNING” message one too many times. The same service that they use to let people in a specific area know when there’s an Amber Alert. So why are colleges and universities so far behind the times? Last month there was a drive-by shooting …
On Wednesday night the Orthodox Union/JLIC at the Tanger Hillel of Brooklyn College had a panel discussion entitled “Depression and Anxiety: Let’s Talk”, with the intent of breaking the stigma and getting the community talking.

It’s been the cover story of the NY Post for the last two mornings and I figured I’d bring it up. Faigy Mayer ventured through Brooklyn College at the same time as me, on her Graduate path while I went for Undergrad, and she went on to write apps and was working on a project …

This Sunday I went to the Tanger Hillel at Brooklyn College (at which I’m a board member) to do our yearly Passover Deliveries to the Elderly. Every year we get in different goods to deliver, thanks in part to the Met Council on Jewish Poverty, and this year we had a nice haul to spread …
A few months ago I wrote about the death of broadcasting great Al Tanger. And last week Thursday, the Tanger Hillel at Brooklyn College (of which I’m on the Board of Directors for) honored the man who put his name on the building. In what turned out to be a great little event, attended by many …
Last Monday night I went to an event run by one of my former clubs at Brooklyn College…and I am saddened to say that the level of “caring for those in attendance” has gone down hill in the three years since I left. The club running the event was one that I was involved in …
Al Tanger passed away on Saturday, June 21st, at the age of 94. The more days that pass since his death, the more incredible things I keep hearing about the man. For starters, all I’d known about him was that the Tanger Hillel at Brooklyn College was named after him and his wife. I’ve now …
