About DePaul

DePaul Hillel, part of Hillels Around Chicago, seeks to foster vibrant Jewish life on campus in a welcoming, pluralistic atmosphere for all students. We provide over 100 programs throughout the year ranging from spiritual and religious programs such as Shabbat services and dinner to building the Sukkah in St. Vincent`s Circle. We have great cultural and social activities like our Tzedek volunteer projects, picnics on the quad, and free trips to Israel on Taglit-birthright Israel. We offer internships and scholarships for conferences held nationally and internationally where students are able to develop leadership skills and meet other Hillel students from various Jewish backgrounds. The DePaul Hillel Center for Jewish Life on Campus is located in the DePaul Student Center-Room 340 and provides and space for students to hang out, eat in our Kosher kitchenette, use the computer and schmooze on the couches. At DePaul Hillel we are committed to creating meaningful Jewish experiences for students every day.

Hillel Information




Hillel Foundation


"Metro Chicago Hillel is the center for Jewish life for college students at University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), Northeastern Illinois University (NEIU), Illinois Institute for Tehcnology (IIT), Loyola University, Depaul University, Roosevelt University, Columbia College and School of the Art Institute (SAIC.) Our campus and cross-campus programming contributes to the strength of our Jewish community and creates a welcoming environment for every student to embrace Jewish traditions while exploring their own Jewish identity. We inspire Jewish students to make an enduring commitment to Jewish life by serving the cultural, religious and social needs of our diverse community. We are dedicated to creating welcoming, pluralistic and inclusive Jewish communities both on and across the campuses. Through our programs, we reinforce Jewish expression and identity by pursuing tzedek (social justice) and tikkun olam (repairing the world), encouraging Jewish learning and celebration, supporting Israel and global Jewish peoplehood, and committing to excellence and innovation. We are building community for you to connect to other Jews and to forge ties that last a lifetime. "
