Hillel of Colorado serves 2,000+ Jewish students at six Colorado Front Range universities through our homes-away-from-home that provide students a rich, formative experience proven to shape Jewish identity, instill confidence, and inspire commitment to Jewish values and Israel. Hillel is the largest Jewish tent on campus, assuring every Jewish student an honored seat at the table. Hillel connects our students with the peers and mentors who help shape their Jewish values during this formative period.
With campus antisemitism at an all-time high, we are here, ready, and succeeding, speaking truth to power, holding university leadership accountable for Jewish student safety, and empowering Hillel students to confront rising antisemitism with confidence as they grow into tomorrow’s Jewish leaders.
Affiliated with Hillel International – The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life, founded in the mid-1920’s to “convey Jewish civilization to a new generation,” Hillel of Colorado is an independent 501(c)3 nonprofit supported by community members, parents and alumni. Our original purpose is no less important today than it was over nine decades ago. Named after Rabbi Hillel the Elder, one of Judaism’s most renowned First Century scholars and teachers, Hillel has grown into one of the world’s largest Jewish campus organizations. Like its namesake, Hillel teaches Jewish values and customs with the expectation that students will become worthy inheritors of the tradition and its timeless values.
Vision: We inspire every Jewish student to make an enduring commitment to Jewish life, learning, and Israel.
