A Statement from Hillel International

By /

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.

What Could Go Right?

December 8, 2025

As we help kick off Hillel of San Diego’s year-end fundraiser, I can’t help but reflect on the moment that first made me and Sheava believe in this important work. It was the day the Glickman Hillel Center at UCSD opened its doors after twenty years of persistence. I saw what it means for Jewish young adults to have a place they can count on, and what a community can accomplish together. That is why Sheava and I became supporters, and why we remain committed as Hillel of San Diego has grown into one of the most impactful Hillels in the country.

This one is worth opening – I promise!

I know you’ve likely gotten a ton of emails today, but I had to send one on behalf of Hillel of San Diego! This is Noa (SDSU, Class of ‘28), and we’re down to the wire on Giving Tuesday. The $25,000 donor match is about to disappear, and we hope donors like you are racing to grab the final funds! We’re SO close to hitting our goal.

It’s Waylon – We need to talk

December 2, 2025

I wanted to reach out today, on Giving Tuesday, to share my story with you. Last fall, I arrived at UCSD knowing literally no one. Finding my community at Hillel of San Diego not only changed my college experience, it changed my life. Thanks to your past generosity, I found a place where I could be unapologetically Jewish, make friends at Shabbat, and step up as a leader.
