Harvard Hillel is the catalyst for Jewish life, community, and personal exploration at Harvard University. Our pressing challenge is centered on students' active and self-conscious choice to be Jewish, to explore the relevance of Jewish tradition to their own lives, to become active participants in a vital and dynamic culture, and to contribute with force and vision both to the Jewish community and the world at large.Harvard Hillel considers every Jewish student as an actor in and author of the ongoing story of the Jewish people from ancient days until the present. Our mission is to provide every Jewish Harvard student -- without regard to ideological commitment or background -- appropriate grounding for making meaningful Jewish choices in a complex and changing world.
