Welcome Rabbi Ed Rosenthal, New Executive Director - Hillel of Tampa Bay

The Hillel Jewish Student Center of Tampa Bay is happy to announce that Rabbi Ed Rosenthal will be joining us as our new Executive Director on July 1. Ed is currently the Campus Rabbi and Executive Director of Cornell Hillel, where he has led that Hillel to new levels of excellence and effectiveness for the past eight years. Today, it is one of the top programs in the country. With your help and participation combined with Ed's talents and experience, we look forward to our Hillel reaching great heights and providing meaningful Jewish opportunities for students here in the Tampa Bay area. Ed is looking forward to meeting you, so please stop by when you are in town!

Ed will be moving to Tampa with his wife Mindy and their 14 year old daughter Gabe (short for Gabriella). They will be joined later in the month by their son, Jonah who is a sophomore at the State University of New York Maritime College.
