Poll: What do you think about CoCo?

There’s one vote so far. Update: The poll results were erased when I move this post from ChoseIt to WordPress. On the chose it site there were 7 votes for destruction, 6 for CoCo serving as an important voice for the community.

This blog is taking over the internet

If you google “Harvard Hillel”, this blog shows up on page 6.

Activities that Hillel.org says we Offer

I’m not sure that Hillel.org is the most useful website in the world. Click the link here to see what I’m talking about. The idea is OK.

Also, you don’t usually have to go to Harvard lectures; you have to go to NILI lectures. But I […]

Googling Ethan Linden

But senior aides to RAL now indicate that the FFWC has no intentions of running for President; her sights are set on VP for Education. Who, then, will take […]
