About the Bentley Spiritual Life Center
The Bentley Spiritual Life Center proactively supports the spiritual well-being of the Bentley Community. Through a commitment to curiosity and kindness, we seek to empower students on journeys of self-discovery and meaningful engagement with the rich diversity of perspectives and traditions present in our community. By fostering internal reflection and external dialogue, we empower students to lay foundations for lives characterized by purpose, authenticity, creativity, and connection.
Through tailored support for our various religious communities on campus, we ensure equitable and inclusive experiences that nurture a sense of belonging for all students. As a secular university, we prioritize religious literacy and intercultural competencies, offering opportunities for students to forge interfaith friendships, explore new practices, and collaborate on service projects as a united, diverse community.
Together, we strive to create a vibrant and supportive environment where all members of the Bentley community can explore, grow, connect and thrive spiritually.
About Hillel Council of New England
Hillel Council of New England (HCNE) is a multi-campus Hillel currently serving seven campuses with small Jewish populations in Massachusetts. HCNE’s mission is to connect Jewish students on campuses across New England to each other and to the local and global Jewish community. Our vision is to inspire students to explore their Jewish identity and strengthen their connection to Judaism and the Jewish people. We achieve this by meeting students where they are on their individual journeys, and by providing them with meaningful experiences and support on campus, in New England, and around the world.
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.
