About the Organization
The Hillel Jewish Student Association aka Hillel at UNL is the ultimate UNL student resource for all things Jewish. Re-started in 2002 after a long absence, Hillel is committed to a pluralistic vision of Judaism that embraces all movements and simply exists to maximize the number of Jews doing Jewish things with other Jews. The handful of students that are Hillel actively seek to engage other Jewish students on their own terms, providing opportunities to do Jewish things that are meaningful and appealing. Students are empowered to take responsibility for their Jewish identity, whether they wish to participate in a community service project, express themselves artistically, participate in a social event, attend religious services or engage in informal Jewish learning.
During the academic year, Hillel at UNL partakes in cultural and religious programming (such as guest speakers/seminars, Holocaust remembrance, youth group/Hebrew school programs, and conferences), social justice activities, and community initiatives (such as Israel awareness and Judaic studies awareness programs).
Hillel at UNL also seeks to engage Jewish students of other area campuses, as well as the Jewish community of Lincoln/Omaha at large.
