Reuben Allik and Connor Dedrick

Reuben is a senior at Boston College majoring in Economics, with minors in Computer Science and Marketing. He is from Natick, MA and grew up attending Temple Beth El of the Sudbury River Valley. Reuben is an active member of Boston College's Hillel, where he is the Publicity and Promotion Coordinator, and serves on BC Campus Ministry's Multifaith Council. Some of his other interests include: club lacrosse, kayaking, finding college tickets for the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and photography.

Connor is a junior at Boston University studying operations in the Questrom School of Business. He was raised Jewish but in a very lax way, occasionally attending services, on and off observing of holidays and the like. Now, however, he loves his Judaism and its fluctuating definition. The things that are constant in his Jewish life are learning and mitzvot (commandments). As president of BU Hillel, he had to learn to be conscious and have a purpose in everything he did to bring different kinds of Jews together. His Jewish journey heavily informs the way he organizes interfaith communities. Compassion and empathy are the foundation stones of his Judaism and interfaith work. He is always striving to better understand someone else and deconstruct who he is and what his role can be in this world.
