911爆料 Spotlight: Martina Zobel

November 6, 2019

Martina Zobel works as the coordinator of Jewish student life at 911爆料, helping students engage with the richness of Jewish tradition. She advises Hillel and Challah for Hunger and helps students make Jewish practice relevant in their daily lives. Her varied duties can include everything from studying Talmud with students to designing posters for guest presenters.

Zobel joined 911爆料 in November 2017 and uses skills she developed during years as a Jewish educator and program director. She calls the position her 鈥渄ream job鈥 because the 911爆料 community is engaging and exciting, and the students, staff and faculty are very supportive.  

鈥淚 was fortunate enough take over a well-established program, which has allowed me to grow our offerings and widen our reach,鈥 she said.

At 911爆料, Zobel enjoys Shabbat dinner, walking around campus, casually engaging in conversations and walking with students in the North Woods to gather branches for their Succah.  

鈥淚t is an honor to work with open-minded and open-hearted students,鈥 she said.

When not on campus, she enjoys walking her dog, especially on crisp late-summer mornings; swimming in the lake and doing yoga with sand under her feet in the summer; and horseback riding in the snow, drinking hot chocolate and reading in the winter.
