Welcome to bus 154!
Hi it's Brian and Hila, we are your trip leaders! We work at UIUC Hillel as the program director and the Israel Fellow.
Brian: I'm from Cleveland, Ohio and received a degree in American History in 2010 from The Ohio State University. After college, I served as the Director of Engagement at Ohio State Hillel. I moved to Champaign, Illinois last July to be the Program Director at Illini Hillel. I can't wait to meet all of you, and I'm excited to share my Israel experience and help you get to know how amazing Israel is.
Hila: I was born and raised in Beer-Sheva and lived in Tel-Aviv at the last 8 years. After serving in the IDF as a producer and news editions editor at the IDF Radio "Galey-Zahal," I spent the last six years as an editor of several TV shows at Channel two in Israel. I arrived to Champaign, Illinois last August and I'm very exited to lead our Birthright group and introduce you to the most amazing country in the world, my home – Israel :)
