College Connection

College Connection is a program designed to keep our college students connected to their Jewish community here in Highland Park.  Through the stewardship of Beth El’s Youth Community, we send 3 – 4 holiday-themed packages to our students each year, with packing help from our parents.  We also connect our students to resources about alternative winter/spring break programs, Birthright Israel, Jewish programs on campus, summer jobs and study abroad opportunities.  

The program is free, endowed by NSS Beth El Sisterhood, but registration is required every year.  Click on the link (at any time during the year) to register your child: https://nssbe.shulcloud.com/form/collegeconnection 

If you have any questions about this program, including if you’d like to volunteer to help pack, please contact Sarah Topal at stopal@nssbethel.org.
