We couldn’t end the year without expressing our gratitude and appreciation of Sherrie Bergman, who this year is retiring.  An advisor to Hillel for over 12 years now, Sherrie has had a wonderful influence  on Hillel and has been incredibly important to Hillel’s development, maintenance, and growth.  Without a doubt, Hillel would not be where it is today without her expertise, perspective, an advice on many matters.  For this, Bowdoin Hillel is greatly indebted to Sherrie Bergman, and we would like to convey our deepest thanks for her many years of commitment and service to the Jewish community here at Bowdoin.

To learn more about Sherrie Bergman, we invite you to read the following article in the Bowdoin Daily Sun:  http://www.bowdoindailysun.com/bowdoin-college-librarian-sherrie-bergman-to-receive-2012-alumni-award-for-faculty-and-staff/

The end of the year rapidly advancing, the Board of Hillel and its advisors joined together in celebration of another great year of Bowdoin Hillel.  Having elected Lydia Singerman ’13 and Melanie Gaynes ’13 as Co-Presidents for the coming ’12 – ’13 school year, Bowdoin Hillel is looking forward to another fantastic year next year.  Thanks to everyone who participated this year, have a great summer, and we’ll see you soon!

Peter Cole is a poet and translator of poetry and prose from Hebrew and Arabic whose work has received much recognition, including a MacArthur Fellowship. His familiarity with the contemporary Middle East and intimacy with medieval Hebrew come together in his recent book (co-authored with Adina Hoffman): Sacred Trash: The Lost and Found World of the Cairo Geniza.
