Penn Hillel is a non-profit organization serving the Jewish student community at the University of Pennsylvania. It supports a broad range of Jewish life on campus, including cultural, educational, religious, and social initiatives, and functions as an umbrella for more than 40 student groups. The organization engages a large portion of the campus’s Jewish undergraduates through programs such as Shabbat services, social justice and Israel-focused activities, and community meals, while also operating initiatives like the Jewish Renaissance Project to reach students who are less involved. Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Penn Hillel runs from a modern facility called Steinhardt Hall and hosts events, speakers, and classes that address diverse backgrounds and beliefs. A notable recent development includes a partnership announced in 2022 aimed at training students to support peers’ mental health needs, reflecting its collaborative approach to campus well-being.
