JEWISH FEDERATION OF METROPOLITAN

Campus affairs and the hillels of illinois - federation supports a vast array of activities for students in high schools, colleges, universities and professional schools in illinois. The hillel program provides opportunities for jewish students to explore and celebrate their jewish identity in college campuses across illinois. Hillel's vision is a world where every jewish student is inspired to make an enduring commitment to jewish life, learning and israel. Hillel seeks to enrich the lives of jewish students so that they may enrich the jewish people and the world. Hillel seeks to create a pluralistic, welcoming and inclusive environment for jewish college students: an environment where students are encouraged to grow intellectually, spiritually and socially. Increasingly, campus affairs and hillel must help jewish students combat the dramatic rise in antisemitism and efforts to delegitimize and demonize israel and work directly with high school and college administrations to develop best practices to address antisemitism when it occurs.
