The B'nai B'irth Hillel

Document discussing the establishment of a Hillel foundation for Jewish students at the University of Texas. As the foundation's membership grew from 200 to 550 students, the building became unable to keep up with the rising demand, prompting the Texas State Conference of B'nai Brith to vote to sponsor the building of a new Hillel building at the University of Texas. This document provides a list of reasons for the building of a new Jewish center and the estimated cost of constructing a new Hillel building.
