Student Life

Each student is on an individual journey, and Penn Hillel is there getting to know every student by name and by story.

Penn Hillel aims to connect students to new communities of friends, new approaches to Jewish wisdom and the next set of opportunities for personal and Jewish growth. Penn Hillel also creates countless opportunities to meet Jews from different backgrounds and to explore the breadth and richness of Jewish life.

Student-Led  Programs

Through many unique student groups and numerous internship programs, students create high impact opportunities to deepen their relationship with Israel; to give back and serve those in need locally and internationally; and to explore Judaism through religious, educational and cultural expressions.
