As graduation approaches, we’ve been thinking a lot about this class—and everything you’ve brought to life at Brown RISD Hillel.

For many of you, BRH has been a constant: Shabbat dinners, Jewish learning, holidays, creative programs, travel, friendships, and all the in-between moments that made this place feel like home.

Those experiences didn’t happen by accident. They were made possible by alumni, parents, and friends who believed in this community—and who understood the quiet power of tzedakah: showing up for one another and helping sustain something larger than ourselves.

As you get ready to graduate, we invite you to take a small step into that tradition—grounded in gratitude, and in the spirit of paying it forward for the students who will walk through these doors next.

Please consider a special contribution of $20.26 (in honor of your class year). The proceeds will directly support BRH students in the year to come.

It’s a chance to mark this transition—into alumni, and into a community that continues well beyond College Hill.

As a thank you, the first 45 seniors to participate will also receive BRH graduation cords to wear proudly at Commencement.
