Students are back on our campuses and we have kicked off the semester with several Welcome Week activities! At SDSU we hosted a Welcome Back Brunch with more than 40 students reconnecting over bagels, enjoyed our first Shabbat of the semester at full capacity with a vision boarding activity after dinner and engaged our juniors and seniors with a Jew & Brews 21+ event.  Our famous BBQ had over 150 students in attendance! 

At UC San Diego we had a fabulous BBQ in the Potiker House backyard, and we brought “Bageling” back to campus – weekly meetups with free bagels. At USD, Hillel was part of The Alcalá Bazaar which takes place at the start of each semester and provides a space for students to discover the many opportunities for involvement that are available. 

It was a week with absolutely incredible conversations, energy and new connections between the students and Hillel professionals. 

Other Stories From Hillel

Right before the Israelites enter into the promised land, Moses recounts their journey from Mitzrayim (Egypt), through 40 years of wandering and struggle, to get them to that very moment. Moses himself cannot enter the land but that it is up to future generations to care for it and work for it, and he gives them his blessing.

After Hillel, Where Do Students Go?

We want students to leave our doors more equipped to connect to the next stage of their Jewish journey. That may be at a synagogue or going off to serve as leaders at Federation, the JCC, or ADL. We envision they will build donor advised funds with JCF, and volunteer at JFS…. simply to be connected to meaningful Jewish life through any and all organizations that help them continue to nurture their own Jewish identities.

Grow! Grow! Grow!

So much is happening at Hillel right now. This year, there has been a constant theme – we are growing… fast! We are seeing more young people connect to the Jewish community through Hillel of San Diego than ever before.
