The president of Temple Hillel and one of our senior brothers, Andy Markowitz, is one of the many brothers who is always so helpful to the Jewish community here on Temple's campus and we are so proud of the great things that he does and how well his accomplishments reflect on our beloved chapter. The celebration of Jewish holidays is an AEPi tradition and there is no better way to embrace the festivities of this, The Time of Our Joy, by lending our efforts for the building of a magnificent Sukkah.
