I presented myself to Hillel Senior Communications Associate Danielle Freni and she pretty much allowed me to walk around and talk to people for a story or two on Jewlicious. She was earnest and friendly and even gave me a Hillel pen/compass! Met Hillel President Wayne Firestone. In this world he is a rock star, spoken of in hushed, reverential terms. He is the Cappo de Tutti Cappi, big Jew on campus and he and his staff sure know how to throw a party. We were in a food line together when he dropped a mini-quiche. Being conscientious he of course picked it up right away and put it aside. I told him “Wayne! Five second rule – you can legitimately eat that!” to which he replied “Yeah, but then you’ll just blog it.”
Did I tell you the dude is sharp or what?


Wayne Firestone hoisted aloft at what looks like his 2nd Bar Mitzvah. Mazel Tov Wayne! Today you are a man!

actually THREE kids have strep. We are also pleased that ck is there since many of our friends are there . One is David Rubenstein from Sonoma Hillel who brought a bus last year.
We all hope that Wayne will raise the stature of supporting Jewish students on campus. So far so good!
Ck just for the record, I know the morning minyan selection is itself a buffet.
David,
We’re glad you had fun at our party! Come back any time!
The friendly and earnest Danielle Freni
