Hillel’s Meyerhoff Center for Jewish Experience
“The most fulfilling part of my job is helping students create their own experiences and enjoy the results of their work.”
During their formative college years, Hillel challenges students to explore, experience and create vibrant Jewish lives.
Hillel’s Joseph Meyerhoff Center for Jewish Experience ensures that our professionals can enrich their student interactions with Jewish content and depth. Whether its content supports a student leadership meeting, service-learning trip, or simply a coffee date, the Meyerhoff Center enables Hillel professionals to bring Judaism into the everyday. By creating and disseminating content, such as conversation guides and text studies for holidays and current events, the Meyerhoff Center empowers Hillel professionals to reach students wherever they are, and offers new ways to explore our heritage.

- Beit Midrash at Hillel Institute
Each year at our annual professional and student training conference, the Meyerhoff Center organizes a beit midrash (learning session) where hundreds of students and professionals convene to study a variety of Jewish texts and traditions together. The study during this session inspires many of the conversations throughout the conference.
The Center is generously endowed by the Joseph Meyerhoff Family Charitable Funds. You can help further enrich the quality and depth of Jewish resources and Jewish life on campus.
