Help Students Make a Lasting Connection to Jewish Life
Jewish college students need a place on campus where they feel they belong, now more than ever. At a time when antisemitism has risen to record levels on campuses around the world, Hillel continues to provide a safe, welcoming home away from home where students can gather to connect and celebrate their Jewish heritage.
For many students, Shabbat is where they take their first step toward a lasting connection to Jewish life. As they light the Shabbat candles and recite ancient prayers alongside their Jewish community at Hillel, students experience a sense of belonging to something greater than themselves — an experience that stays with them long after graduation.
Your gift of $180 or more, rooted in the Jewish value of chai (life), helps make these Shabbat experiences possible, ensuring Jewish students continue to find community, comfort, and a deep connection to Jewish values on nearly 1,000 campuses worldwide.
