By cbohle

After one semester at Elon, Rabbi Becky Joseph stepped down as Director of Elon Hillel and Associate Chaplain for Jewish Life.

Rabbi Joseph was here for a shorter duration than some expected. "I think that's [a semester] as much time as it takes to figure out if you're in the place that's right for you," Vellani said. Student leaders and families on the Jewish Life Advisory Council were notified last Monday evening.
