As a parent, you have spent the past several years guiding and nourishing your child so that they may be able to face the many opportunities and challenges that await them. While it can be difficult for parents to leave their children on a college campus, we hope to ease some of your concerns and ensure that your child experiences the wide array of programming and strong sense of Jewish community present at University of Pennsylvania’s Hillel.
Through Hillel, your child will be provided with a myriad of opportunities geared towards helping them continue their Jewish journey into adulthood. The talented Hillel staff cherishes the chance to work with each student and seeks to offer a host of meaningful entry points into Jewish campus life. Penn Hillel is here to provide your student with a solid and thriving Jewish community away from home. We look to inspire and excite students and make life a little smoother while your student is here at Penn.
We encourage you to get a better sense of Penn’s Hillel and all it has to offer by browsing our latest photo albums, checking out our handy FAQ page, or contacting us anytime at 215-898-7391. You may also stay connected with Hillel and each other by "becoming a fan" of our Penn Hillel Parent Network Facebook page by clicking on the link below!

Penn Hillel Parents Campaign
Penn Hillel also depends on parents for their generosity and commitment to Jewish life. Hillel does not receive any financial support from the university, and while our programming and opportunities grow, so does our Annual Campaign. Please consider making a gift to help Hillel create a vibrant Jewish community. We value all gifts as they are instrumental in reaching our campaign goals. Parents may also select to join our Hillel Parent Circle – an opportunity for you to stay connected while your child receives some nice incentives.
We look forward to meeting you on campus whether it be at Family Weekend, Homecoming, Commencement, or just because you are in the area!
