At Southern Methodist University (SMU), Mustangs for Israel, an organization dedicated to fostering Jewish student community and enhancing access to Kosher food, achieved two significant objectives under Hannah Siegel’s leadership.
First, Hannah successfully united Jewish students at SMU by orchestrating SMU-specific events in collaboration with a local rabbi. These events aimed to strengthen the community and included a special Shabbat in the SMU neighborhood.
Additionally, Hannah facilitated student participation at the local rabbi’s high holidays celebration and Passover Seder and, which are currently otherwise unavailable within SMU Jewish life.
Furthermore, to connect the SMU Jewish community with the broader Dallas community, Hannah sought guidance from University of Texas at Dallas students. She shared her insights and experiences in a compelling presentation before their student government, and she collaborated with a rabbi from the Dallas Area Torah Association to explore opportunities for engagement and collaboration.
