       Nearly 700 Hillel
            professionals will have access to the organization's
            new LGBTQ Resource Guide when they meet in Washington, D.C.,
            for an       annual staff conference December 17-20.
            The resource guide provides tools       for welcoming and
            working with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and
            queer Jewish students on college campuses, according to a
            press release.       Hillel runs community centers and other
            organizations for Jewish       collegians.     
       "There exists a
            common belief that religious groups are not open to
            the LGBTQ community," D'ror Chankin-Gould, editor of the
            resource       guide and Jewish Campus Service Corps senior
            fellow at Columbia       University and Barnard College,
            said in a press release. "This guide       is helping Hillel
            break down barriers and cultivate an inclusive,
            welcoming home for all Jewish students." (The
            Advocate)
