“Hillel has given me a community of friends that I can be myself with and continuously learn from. Hillel has given me a home away from home.”

“Hillel is a place where Jewish kids on campus can find a second home. Now more than ever it’s so important to have a safe space and a core group of Jewish friends. “

“Hillel was an integral part of my time at VCU. Joining Hillel gave me the opportunity to learn about Judaism in a way that felt personal to my life and gave me a different perspective on what Judaism could be. Now, I get to spend my days with young Jewish people helping them foster their own Jewish identity and create their own communities. It is so meaningful to me that Hillel provides a space for.”
