2023 HIllel student Board
Hi everyone! My name is Devora Kittner, but most just know me as Dilli :)
I'm a junior at Mount Mary University studying biological health sciences. I'm so excited to be a Co-president of Hillel MKE this year along with Jane! I'm SUPER passionate about leading and learning with other college students. Some fun facts about me are that I drink way too much coffee, and that I wanted to be a fashion designer when I was younger (aka a couple years ago ).
I look forward to meeting you all!

Shalom! My name is Jack Redfern and I am so excited to be serving as your Jewish Life and Learning Chair. A little bit about me is that I am currently a first-year student at Marquette University double majoring in Secondary Education & Mathematics. Before coming to college I was an active member at home in my local USY (United Synagogue Youth) region serving as our Membership/Kadima Vice President for the past two years. I am so excited to spend this year getting to bring some amazing traditions to Hillel Milwaukee as well as expanding on old ones and sharing my love for Jewish Education to everyone else.
