Hillel, the foundation for Jewish campus life at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, creates a warm and welcoming community where students from all Jewish backgrounds can meet, explore and celebrate Jewish life.

The University of Illinois’ Jewish life is incredibly diverse. With nearly 3,500 Jewish students on campus, there is a tremendous breadth of interests and opportunities that can be pursued through Hillel. Whether your passions include Israel, the outdoors, social events, Jewish education, the arts, community service, Hillel can help you with all of this and even more! If there is an area you would like to see included in the Hillel program that is not currently offered, contact Carly Froomkin.
Hillel at the University of Illinois is an accredited foundation of Hillel: The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life.
