At the end of a long work day running the Jewish campus organization Hillel, fundraising, supervising faculty, working with a Board of Directors and interacting with alumni, Rabbi Joseph Topek walks out of his office and goes straight to the coat hanger to put on his Texas Longhorn cap on top of his bright red Stony Brook yarmulke.

On May 3, the Stony Brook Hillel Foundation celebrated the culmination of its food collection efforts for the Mary Brennan Inn, a soup kitchen and food pantry.
