• We serve thousands of delicious, home-cooked Shabbat dinners every semester in a welcoming environment where Jewish students feel at home.

• We send students to Israel on free Birthright Trips, and promote hundreds of opportunities with Jewish organizations worldwide.

• We run Holiday programs from Rosh Hashanah until Yom Haatzmaut.

• We keeps students connected at two local Jewish student houses, on our website BeachHillel.com, through Facebook,  and
  

• We organize the largest Jewish student weekend in the Western United States—Jewlicious Festival—for 500 students from over 50 schools. 

• We prepare students to be future Jewish leaders.

Just in time for 2007 Chanukah season, Beach Hillel unleashes Monster Menorah III, hoping to find this year’s most outrageous and creative college-student made menorah. Grand prize is $250, which ain’t too shabby either.

The Menorah is a nine-branched candelabra lit during the eight days of Chanukah, the Jewish Festival of Lights. The Menorah celebrates the light of religious freedom, which pierced the darkness of tyranny and persecution.

Monster Menorah is a student creativity competition open to all students regardless of race, color, faith, sexual orientation, or nationality, sponsored by Beach Hillel. Voting is open to all students at the Beach Hillel Tent on December 5, 2007.

HOW DO I QUALIFY?
To qualify for the competition, menorahs must be delivered to the Beach Hillel table in front of the California State University Long Beach Bookstore by 10am, December 5, 2007. In addition, all entries must follow the competition guidelines below and be accompanied by a registration form on day of competition. Any entry that is deemed offensive by the organizers will be disqualified.
