Explore CU Boulder Hillel
CU Boulder Hillel is the center for Jewish life on campus for more than 3,000 Jewish students at the University of Colorado Boulder. As a vibrant, welcoming, and inclusive space, Hillel provides a safe and nurturing environment where students gather to celebrate Jewish life, explore their identities, and build meaningful relationships. Our goal is to foster a sense of belonging and Jewish joy, providing constant support and a brave space for students, addressing emerging needs as they arise. At CU Boulder Hillel, Jewish life is woven into the rhythm of campus life. Through Shabbat and holiday celebrations, Israel trips, internships, leadership development, and student-led experiences that range from mountain retreats and ski resort tailgates to Havdalah song sessions and puppy Shabbats, there is always something to connect students to each other and to their Jewish identity. Our Hillel House is open every day, and students come not just for what's on the calendar, but because it genuinely feels like home.Undergraduate Enrollment
