Bowling For Birthright

IMG_0975

We have had such an incredible Birthright recruitment season this year with a full bus of students from SDSU and Cal State San Marcos enrolled for the trip in May!

To connect this year’s participants with alumni and other interested students, SDSU Hillel hosted an awesome event at Aztec Lanes with free bowling, dinner and lots of prizes for anyone that signed up to go to Israel with SDSU Hillel!

Birthright Israel seeks to ensure that every eligible young Jewish adult around the world — 50,000 young Jewish adults each year — is given the opportunity to visit Israel on an educational journey.

We are so excited for our upcoming trip this summer!

We do so while holding two truths at once. We are celebrating the light and resilience of Hanukkah, even as we grieve the tragedies and violence that have shaken Jewish communities in recent days. Joy and heartbreak coexist. For Jewish students, that tension is not abstract but rather something they are navigating every day on campus

Not Our Grandparents’ Hillel

December 17, 2025

When we were children, our grandparents posed a simple but enduring question: If the Jewish people don’t take care of the Jewish people, who will? That question inspired our parents to lead and to give, and today, as third-generation Hillel supporters, it sits squarely before us.
