Throwing it back to March, when Penn State Hillel went to Curacao for their alternative spring break trip! Jewish students were immersed in Curacao's culture, exploring its Jewish community there, learning about Jewish heritage, and of course, doing meaningful and impactful community service. In our opinion, this is one of the most fun mitzvahs you can do! 🤭

After two decades, Hillel is simply part of who Debbie Yunker Kail is. Earlier this year, she celebrated her 10th anniversary as the Hillel Jewish Student Center at ASU executive director. 🎉 In her time at Arizona State University, Hillel has TRIPLED in size — including students, staff, and budget. She has not only made deep connections with Jewish students on campus, but has been an anchor for them after October 7. Debbie says there is still a lot of work to do, and she has BIG plans!

Meet Jason Kuperberg, an entrepreneur and co-founder of AI platform HyperWrite (OthersideAI) who said his experience at Syracuse Hillel changed his life. “I never would have seen myself getting involved with Jewish life until I started connecting with Hillel, but because I did, and the right people were there, and I was able to connect with them, it made such a difference. And I want that for every other Jewish student.” Now, as a generous and dedicated Hillel supporter, he hopes to bring transformative Jewish experiences to as many students as possible.

A group of senior Hillel professionals recently returned from Hillel International's Sipurim trip -- gaining a deeper understanding of a changed Israeli society, and building the resilience of our Hillel movement. They listened to stories of heartbreak and hope as they met with family members of 10/7 hostages, survivors of the massacre at the Nova Music Festival, and Israeli dignitaries and scholars. Now these Hillel professionals are heading back to their own campuses with greater knowledge of the challenges confronting Israelis and better ways to support their students during challenging times. We brought over 100 campus professionals to Israel during three trips in the first seven months of 2024, and will continue to support Hillel professionals who serve our movement.

As someone who was born in Israel, Einav never expected his Birthright trip to impact him the way it did. Einav, a rising junior at University of Maryland, thought he knew everything there was to know about Israel. Then October 7 happened. Einav wanted to connect deeply to his roots and to the place that was a fundamental part of him. That's when he went to Maryland Hillel and applied for a Birthright trip. Read more about why Einav says this was one of the most impactful experiences in his life ➡️ https://ow.ly/phE550SG84u

Jewish students showed their strength and resilience today in Sderot, Israel. Today marks the 30th anniversary of a targeted bombing that killed 85 people at a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Jewish students from Hillels of Latin America participated in a ceremony in Sderot to honor those killed 30 years ago today - and to honor the memory of the victims of the October 7 massacre. After hearing from the families of 10/7 hostages and taking time to remember those killed in the bombing three decades ago, each student planted a tree as a symbol of resilience and life. 🎗️
