We are excited to announce the date of Hillel of Silicon Valley's L'Dor V'Dor program! We are greatful for everyone who has support Hillel of Silicon Valley's L'Dor V'Dor porgram over the years and helped to bring the community together. We invite you to join us virtually on Sunday, February 27th, 2022 at 5:00pm.  The focus of this year will be to acknowledge courageous people. The honorees have shown, by their actions, that Jews must stand up Israel against Antisemitism. It is a great privilege to honor  those who, despite great risk of being intimidated or isolated, took leadership roles and spoke out. 

At the event, we will be honoring community members Chuck & Barbara Taubman for their devotion to Hillel of Silicon Valley and to the community. In addition, we are honoring Dr. Tammi Rossman Benjamin, lecturer at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and the co-founder and director of AMCHA Initiative, a non-profit organization devoted to investigating, documenting, educating about, and combating campus antisemitism in America. 

In addition, consistent with this year’s theme, we are thrilled to recognize the bravery of Katelyn Pan, Past President of De Anza College’s Associated Student Body, together with nine current and former Hillel students who led efforts to combat anti-resolutions being proposed, and ultimately passed on their campuses.  These students attended and spoke on behalf of Israel at numerous student council meetings, wrote letters, and mobilized campus and community members.

Our keynote speaker will be John Rothmann. His bio can be viewed at: https://johnrothmann.com/about/.  In addition, we are pleased to announce that comedian Jeff Applebaum will return as our emcee.
