About Us

We at Hillel are dedicated to helping Jewish students create a positive sense of Jewish identity on their own terms. In addition to this, we serve as a community resource for Jewish cultural and educational programming to students of all faith backgrounds. We also enjoy long walks on the beach and hamentashen, but not the poppyseed ones.
