Hillel at UCLA honored its longtime executive director, Rabbi Chaim Seidler-Feller, and his wife, Doreen, during the organization’s 12th annual dinner gala at Sephardic Temple Tifereth Israel on May 5. Phylliss and Louis Mann were recognized for their support of Hillel with the Honorable Menschen Award, and fourth-year student Josh Khalili, a peer mentor, was tapped as this year’s exceptional student leader. Event chairs included Sara Aftergood, Laurie Levenson, Janice Kamenir-Reznik and David Suissa.
