Welcome back from Break!
Giving – Support Jewish Life
Over the last few years, Hillel at Virginia Tech has experienced transformative growth. More students are involved in Jewish life than ever before. Hillel provides resources to student groups, empowering them to connect students to Judaism in meaningful and diverse ways. Students build relationships with other Jewish students at community social events, celebrate the holidays with their friends, learn about Judaism and Israel in mini-courses, participate in social justice opportunities, and travel the world with their peers. Quite simply, Hillel provides Virginia Tech students with a pluralistic, welcoming, and thriving Jewish community.
An investment in the Jewish life of our college students is an investment in the future of our Jewish people.
