Hillel's Israel Action and Addressing Antisemitism Program (IAP) is a leading provider of Israel education and engagement on college campuses, equipping students to navigate an increasingly challenging environment. As anti-Israel and antisemitic activity take on more overt and exclusionary forms, IAP provides ongoing support for campuses facing crises while also creating opportunities for positive Israel engagement through broad-reaching programs and experiences. Through proactive programming, crisis response, and post-crisis support, IAP strengthens campus Hillels and fosters a sense of community among pro-Israel students. By building comprehensive Israel engagement plans and providing critical resources, IAP ensures that Jewish students feel empowered to express their identity and advocate for Israel. Through these efforts, IAP helps create a new generation of student activists who confidently support Israel while maintaining connections with their broader campus communities. The Hillel International Israel Leadership Network (ILN) empowers a new generation of top Israel focused student leaders across North American campuses through education, advocacy, and community engagement. By providing comprehensive training and resources, ILN equips students to effectively counter anti-Israel narratives, foster meaningful dialogue, and create vibrant Israel-focused programming on their respective campuses. ILN membership empowers hundreds of campus Hillels with strong leaders who mobilize peers in support of Israel and the Jewish community.
