UMBC Hillel, Baltimore, MD Videos

UMBC Hillel wishes everyone a happy Pride Month! While we strive every day to celebrate our diverse Jewish community, we give an additional nod of recognition this month to our Jewish LGBTQ+ students and community members! How are you celebrating Pride this month?

While this may not have been the school year we expected, we are thankful that we've still been able to come together as a community. We have a few people in particular to thank, and who better to say it than Gilbert Gottfried! Shabbat shalom, we can't wait to see everyone in August!
