Columbia/Barnard Hillel is, by far, the largest student activities group at Columbia University.〔DePillis, Lydia (SGB Approves Two New Student Groups )'' Columbia Daily Spectator. April 6, 2006, accessed May 2, 2007. The SGB board considers presentations from prospective new groups at its weekly meetings and issues a recommendation to the general body, which makes the final decision. Each of the 89 political and religious groups in the general body has one vote (competitive and cultural groups are represented by SGB's sister organization, the Activities Board at Columbia), with the exception of Hillel, which has five.〕 It caters to the Jewish population at the undergraduate and graduate schools of Columbia University, Barnard College, and the Jewish Theological Seminary. There are over 50 groups, which may be focused on religion, social life, education, culture, Israel, and social justice〔(Columbia/Barnard Hillel ), accessed May 2, 2007.〕 It is located at the Robert Kraft Center for Jewish Life in a building made out of Jerusalem stone adjacent to the Columbia and Barnard campuses. During the Columbia University protests of 1968 the predecessor organization to the Hillel was headed by Rabbi A. Bruce Goldman. He was dismissed by the independent board of directors of the Jewish organization for participating in the demonstration and takeover of Campus buildings.〔Michael E. Staub, ''Torn at the Roots: The Crisis of Jewish Liberalism in Postwar America'' 2002〕〔Up Against the Ivy Wall: A History of the Columbia Crisis by Jerry L. Avorn, p. 228〕 During the protests Goldman was "battered to semi-consciousness" and had to be taken to the hospital.〔The Battle for Morningside Heights: Why Students Rebel, by Roger Kahn, 1970, p. 214.〕 The Kraft Center offers a variety of educational courses catering to the Jewish community, including a daily Talmud class, currently taught by Itamar Rosensweig. ==External links== *(Columbia/Barnard Hillel ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Columbia/Barnard Hillel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
