Israel Programs
At Hillel, we seek to empower the next generation to connect with Israel in a meaningful and personal way. Whether you already have a deep and personal relationship with Israel or currently don’t feel connected at all, there is a place for you at Hillel and an opportunity to explore.

Shabbat + Holidays
Shabbat + Holidays are something everyone should experience. There is a palpable spark of energy. It’s a magic you can’t really describe but you can 100% feel. Shabbat experiences include a pre-meal pluralistic ritual observance. In addition to student led prayer services, we also offer student-led Torah portion discussions.
