Hillel Information




Hillel Foundation


Harvard Hillel is the catalyst for Jewish life, community and personal exploration at this great university. Our pressing challenge is centered on students active and self-conscious choice to be Jewish, to explore the relevance of Jewish tradition to their own lives, to become active participants in a vital and dynamic culture, and to contribute with force and vision both to the Jewish community and the world at large. Inherent in this challenge is the opportunity for Hillel to contribute to a renaissance of Jewish life in America and beyond.
