Hillel UW is unique to other Hillels across the globe.

We support ALL local Jewish young adults - undergraduates through their late thirties -
seamlessly bridging the gap between college and adulthood, inspiring over 1,400 Seattle
Jewish community members annually.

HillelFEST raises the critical annual operating resources needed to offer Seattle's Jewish undergraduates
and Jconnectors (our signature program for Jewish 20-30 somethings) a safe, inclusive community
where they can fully thrive.

Your incredible support makes all of this possible.
