Smokler Center for Jewish Studies (Hillel)
The Smokler Center for Jewish Life, Harry and Jeanette
Weinberg Building is Baltimore's first free-standing
Hillel
facility, offering students a multitude of ways to become
involved in Jewish life. Students can relax in the Phi
Sigma Delta Lounge, plan programs in the Student
Leadership Suite, play games in the Commons,
study and read in the Library and pray in the
Beit Midrash. The 16,000-square-foot
building also houses kosher meat and
dairy kitchens, classroom and program space,
an outdoor terrace, conference rooms,
a multipurpose room, and staff and student offices.
The center, which opened in April 2004, is named for alumnus
Irving Smokler and
his wife, Carol, who in 1999 made a generous
contribution launching a campaign for the project.
The building is also named for the Harry and Jeanette
Weinberg Foundation, which committed funding
designated for construction and a challenge grant
for the center's endowment.
