Jewish Learning Opportunities

The content of our Jewish learning and the process of learning in community builds wisdom and connection that lasts a lifetime.

In the midst of academic course work, students thrive when engaging in Jewish learning for its own sake. As we support individual students in building an enduring commitment to their own practice, our students build bridges across difference for the sake of Jewish peoplehood. 

Ways to Learn with Us

At Hillel, we encourage students to learn together and from each other while ensuring that they access to learning with trained educators who bring a variety of life experiences. Whether students come without any formal experience, haven’t engaged since bar/bat mitzvah, or have completed years of intensive learning, we provide opportunities for growth.
