Schilit Hillel at the University of Florida is a Gainesville-based nonprofit serving Jewish students at UF and Santa Fe College, with a mission to provide a positive and meaningful Jewish experience that endures beyond graduation. Led by Rabbi Jonah Zinn, the organization advocates for Jewish students, builds relationships with university administrators, and runs programs that educate about Jewish culture and observance. The group has served the campus community for more than 75 years, reflecting a long-standing presence in Gainesville. Its work includes assisting students with conflicts related to religious observance and offering programming that connects students to broader networks and to Israel through leadership exchanges. It also engages in public campaigns and community partnerships, such as Spread Cream Cheese, Not Hate in 2024, and collaborations with local synagogues.
