Hillel
The purpose of Hillel is to bring a strong sense of Jewish culture and life to the Jewish students on campus and the nearby community. We seek to promote education and discussion on topics relevant to the Jewish people and to give Jews a place to express concerns as well as a united identity that everyone take part in discovering.
We plan to establish a Jewish presence on campus. Along with the observation of Jewish holidays and weekly services, we would like to broaden the scope of Hillel and educate the campus on some of the issues facing Jews today. We have and will continue to bring speakers and support other organizations in their awareness campaigns . Also, we would like to help the Greensboro community mainly by encouraging activities with local synagogues. Hillel will be a place for students to connect with Israel. Our overall hope is for this organization to remain open and accepting as it strives to be a place of broad discussion.
