Our Shared Mission
Enriching the lives of Jewish students so that they may enrich the Jewish people and the world.
Jewish Student Life in College
For nearly a century, Hillel’s network of dedicated student leaders, professionals and volunteers have inspired generations of young adults to celebrate Jewish learning and living, pursue social justice (tikkun olam and tzedek) and connect to their peers and the global Jewish people.
By participating in Jewish programs on campus, students learn to make a meaningful impact on the future of the Jewish people and the world while they grow intellectually, socially, and spiritually.
Hillel engages with the leadership of more Jewish college students than all other endeavors combined. Being a part of Hillel on your campus means you are enabled to be whatever you want to be in college, Jewish and otherwise, with a Hillel community to support you.
What Students Are Saying
“I have made life long friends in my Hillel and have learned so many valuable lessons about friendship, leadership, and community.”
— Lauren Simon, Redlands Hillel Board President, 2018-19
“Hillel gives me a sense of community that has been a great help to me, living on my own for the first time away from my family and friends. I enjoy getting to learn more about what being Jewish means to others and exploring different traditions.”
— Abby Lusherovich, UCR Hillel Student Board member, 2022-25
