The disturbing, disgraceful and violent attacks on our democratic institutions Wednesday threaten core American and Jewish values and undermine the freedom and security we all hold dear. The students and communities we serve have been deeply unsettled by both that night’s assault and by fear of continuing risks to our government’s integrity, stability and security.

Hillel has long acted from a place of Jewish values to promote respectful dialogue and civic engagement, and to counter the voices of extremists that threaten our campuses and communities. We remain committed to pursuing justice for all and teaching and supporting civil discourse through our work across the country and around the world.

We know many students in our communities remain scared, perplexed and hurting from these events. Local Hillel professionals are here for you. You can also access programming and wellness resources at www.HillelAtHome.org.
