The executive director is Rabbi Matt Rosenberg,〔http://www.thejewishoutlook.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1170&Itemid=58〕 who was ordained as a rabbi in May 2013 at the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies at American Jewish University in Los Angeles, California.〔http://www.thebatt.com/news/new-rabbi-embraces-aggieland-1.3050387〕 Students participate in a wide variety of leadership opportunities including serving on the student board, expanding Hillel's campus outreach as engagement interns, and assisting message amplification as marketing interns.〔http://tamuhillel.org/a/get-involved/jobs-and-internships/〕 == History== The organization was founded in 1920, three years before the national Hillel Foundation was organized at the University of Illinois. Texas A&M Hillel began as the "TAMC Menorah Club" and was organized in 1916 by Dr. Jacob Joseph Taubenhaus (the chief of plant pathology and physiology at the Agricultural and Mechinical College in College Station), and his wife Esther Taubenhaus. In 1920, the group was renamed the "TAMC Hillel Club" with assistance from David Lefkowitz (rabbi) of Dallas.〔〔(From Christian Science to Jewish Science: Spiritual Healing and American Jews ) Oxford University Press page 160〕〔 〕 In 1940, Dr. and Mrs. Raymond Reiser arrived in College Station; Dr. Reiser was a faculty member at Texas A&M. Dr. Reiser’s wife, Mrs. Shirley Reiser, took over as director from Esther Taubenhaus. After construction of the first Hillel building in 1958, Shirley became the director of the Texas A&M Hillel. One of Shirley’s favorite social activities for students was the Friday night dinner; the cadets couldn’t pass up a home-cooked meal away from military life. From 1979 to 1980, Carol Parzen and Amy Mann were co-directors of Hillel. Carol continued in the position until 1983, with the arrival of Rabbi Tarlow. Rabbi Peter Tarlow came to Texas A&M Hillel in 1983 who would serve as Rabbi and Executive Director. The 1980s also saw the creation of the Brazos Valley's Reform synagogue, Congregation Beth Shalom, founded by faculty members who were seeking a congregation of their own. Hillel serves as a home away from home for Jewish students. Hillel began as a group of Jewish cadets and transformed into an organization serving the entire Jewish campus community.〔http://tamuhillel.org/a/about-us/our-history/〕 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「Texas A&M Hillel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
