Hillel of Greater Baltimore has announced the
appointment of Daniel Marcus to the position of director
for Hillel at Johns
Hopkins.
Marcus, who was chosen from a field of over 50
candidates, brings with him 10 years of experience in the
Jewish communal field. Most recently, he served as
assistant director for the Hillel Jewish University Center
in Pittsburgh, which serves more than 3,000 Jewish students
at the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon
University. He has also served on numerous boards, worked
as a freelance Jewish educator in Jerusalem and was a
program associate for Jewish learning at the Sinclair House
JCC in London.
Hailing from London, Marcus graduated with honors from
the University of East London, earning his bachelor's
degree in sociology. While residing in Israel, he studied
at Yeshiva Mayanot in Jerusalem and earned a certificate in
Middle Eastern studies from Haifa University.
Marcus will join Hillel in July following the
departure of Rabbi Joseph Menashe, who, after six years
serving as director, will become an assistant rabbi at
Congregation Shearith Israel in Dallas.
"It is with a sense of great privilege and excitement
that I look forward to becoming the new director of Hopkins
Hillel," Marcus says. "The opportunity to utilize the
magnificent Smokler Center for Jewish Life to enhance the
Jewish journeys of the student body makes this a wonderful
opportunity to build on a foundation already established by
Rabbi Menashe, Hillel and the Baltimore Jewish
community."
Marcus will move to the Baltimore area along with his
wife, Debbie, and their children, 3-year-old Benji and
1-year-old Natan.
