Growing up, Fredericksburg native Larry Silver spent many hours hanging out on what were then open fields of the nearby Mary Washington College.<\/p>\n

How fitting that decades later, the real estate investor has established a place at Mary Washington for students to hang out. Silver, based now in Boca Raton, Florida, was on hand yesterday for a \u201csocially distanced soft opening\u201d of the Maxine and Carl D. Silver Hillel Center at University of Mary Washington.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy parents loved Fredericksburg and they loved the university,\u201d Larry Silver said during a small ceremony in front of the Center, at the corner of College Avenue and Payne Street. \u201cThis is a great way to honor them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Students will, in fact, do much more than hang out at the 9,800-square-foot red brick structure, built with white columns to mimic the architecture on the UMW campus. Rabbi Menachem Sherman, the Center director, has plans for programming in the Center\u2019s meeting rooms and large gathering space.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s surreal that it is finally here,\u201d UMW senior and Jewish Student Association President Rachel Benoudiz, who has been waiting three years for just such a place, said in remarks yesterday. \u201cIt\u2019s a space for students like me to reach their full potential academically and socially.\u201d<\/p>\n

With all the divisiveness in society today, Benoudiz said, \u201cHaving a place where students can feel safe is more important than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

With COVID-19 restrictions, however, the Center can host groups of no more than 10 and everybody has to keep a distance of at least six feet. Those guidelines were what contributed to yesterday\u2019s abbreviated grand opening. Construction of the long-awaited Hillel Center was completed in the spring, just as students were abruptly sent home from Mary Washington and coronavirus restrictions were put in place.<\/p>\n

As students have returned this fall to the UMW campus, the Hillel Center is beginning to see some activity. Benoudiz said she likes to go there for a break and to take advantage of the Center\u2019s espresso machine.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a great day,\u201d declared President Troy Paino, who said he looks forward to a full-fledged opening of the center, which he described as an \u201cintellectual, social and cultural hub\u201d for students and the broader Jewish community. \u201cThousands of lives will be blessed by this investment on the part of the Silver Foundation,\u201d Paino said.<\/p>\n

The high point of the ceremony was the dedication of the Center\u2019s mezuzah, Hebrew for \u201cdoorpost.\u201d Jewish tradition calls for a mezuzah, a small parchment scroll containing Biblical passages, to be encased and affixed to the doorpost of Jewish homes. It serves as a reminder that homes are holy places and those that enter should act accordingly.<\/p>\n

Several speakers referred to the Hillel Center as a \u201chome\u201d for Mary Washington students. The casing for the mezuzah, which Rabbi Sherman, hammered into the doorpost, was molded from steel in rockets launched from Israel\u2019s Iron Dome missile defense system.<\/p>\n

The symbolism, according to the rabbi, is that similar protection will be offered to those who enter the Hillel Center.<\/p>\n

In closing, Rabbi Sherman mentioned Mary Washington\u2019s mascot, the eagle. A passage in Exodus refers to God\u2019s people being carried on wings of eagles. Why is that significant? Because, according to Sherman, in carrying its offspring on its wings instead of using its talons, the eagle is engaging in a selfless, sacrificial act. Danger to an eagle would come from below, not above, so the eagle puts the wellbeing of others before its own.<\/p>\n

Just how he\u2019d like to think of UMW Eagles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
