At UMass Hillel, we empower students through the vitality of Jewish life to cultivate purposeful and healthy lives and relationships, that better our community and world.
Your support of UMass Hillel during #UMassGives creates a strong, diverse and welcoming community for our Jewish students. It also develops the next generation of Jewish leadership.
This year you can double the impact of your gift, dollar for dollar, with $2,500 of matching funds from one of our generous board members. You can also help us win a prize if you donate during our Power Hour between 1:00 pm and 2:00 pm on Tuesday, April 30th. The program with the most unique donations during that hour will win $2,000!
As the center of Jewish life on campus, UMass Hillel is a warm and vibrant pluralist community
with something for everyone. With amazing student leaders and a fun, dedicated staff, UMass Hillel is a great place for students to find friends, build community, and create meaning in their lives. Whether a student is just beginning to explore Judaism or went to Jewish day school or summer camp, all are invited to explore their Jewish identity at UMass Hillel. Our building is located right off campus and is a home away from home for over 2,000 Jewish students each year.
With multiple student groups, free Shabbat meals every Friday night, free trips to Israel, internship opportunities, and events going on almost every day of the week, UMass Hillel is a multi-faceted and exciting community.
Please give generously to UMass Hillel during #UMassGives.
Every gift enables us to reach more students and set more places at our Shabbat and holiday tables.
