Incoming Freshmen: Connect With Your Campus Hillel

Do you know a graduating senior headed to college this fall? Make sure they are connecting with their campus Hillel! As college campuses across the country remain a hotbed for antisemitism, coming together as a Jewish community is more important than ever. Hillel is once again offering incoming Jewish college freshmen a welcome gift and the chance to win one of 10 $1,000 gift cards for back-to-school or dorm essentials as part of Hillel’s Graduation Giveaway. Year-round, Hillel provides learning opportunities, Shabbat and holiday celebrations, social activities, travel experiences, mentoring and more. The Annual Federation Campaign provides yearly support for eight Florida Hillels with the goal of strengthening Jewish identity, creating a warm and welcoming environment for Jewish life and arming students with tools to fight antisemitism and anti-Israel activities on campus. Students, click here to request a Class of 2029 Hillel welcome gift and to be entered into the raffle.
