All Shuk Up!

shuk2

Last night was our Annual Jewish Night Market, or Shuk, and we served nearly a thousand students– many who were not Jewish. We had over 20 booths featuring Jewish food from around the world. Each Booth also had content about that Jewish community and its connection to Israel. This program is one of our strongest outreach efforts as it invites others to learn and appreciate the richness of the Jewish experience while empowering Jewish student leadership and Jewish pride. 

I can explain more but a picture is worth a thousand words so check out some of last night:

Thank you for being a part of Peace in Israel Week. This work is only possible because community members like you invest in Hillel. 

Now, onto our Israel Week Shabbat and some rest! 

Shabbat Shalom, 

Karen

Heart of Hillel: Meet Kira

November 21, 2025

Kira’s Hillel story began as an undergraduate at USD, where she was one of only four Jewish students on campus. For Kira, there were no Shabbat dinners. No immersive Jewish learning. No visible Jewish community.
