The University of Michigan Hillel was the third Hillel Foundation in North America, established in 1926. Michigan Hillel’s history matches the remarkable changes in the University and the times of the nation during its more than nine decades on campus. From its earliest days, Hillel played a significant role in campus life, serving not only the religious needs of the campus Jewish community but also providing a center for social, political, and artistic expression. In 1937, The Hillel Players produced the first play of an undergraduate named Arthur Miller. During the Vietnam War years, Hillel was the focus of much of the campus debate and political action. In the 1980s, Hillel began to play a major role in the intellectual and cultural life of the university. Today, U-M Hillel is a leader in the Hillel movement, supporting the social, emotional, and spiritual lives of nearly 6,500 Jewish students at Michigan.

In 1923, Rabbi Benjamin Frankel started Hillel with humble means, a noble mission and a breathtaking vision: to convey Jewish civilization to a new generation. Today, Hillel International continues to enrich the lives of Jewish students and is the largest Jewish campus organization in the world at nearly 1,000 colleges and universities across North America and around the world. As Hillel evolves as an organization, the mission remains steadfast: to create lasting connections with every Jewish student that foster an enduring commitment to Jewish life, learning, and Israel and train them to become the next Jewish leaders.
Hillel is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to creating an accepting and inclusive environment for all.
