Our Mission

A home away from home for every Jewish Bruin

Hillel at UCLA's mission is to be the home away from home at UCLA for all Jewish students to build their identities through Jewish life, learning, and Israel.

Our Impact

Through the creation of meaningful Jewish experiences, our goal is to discover each student's individual interests or needs and, through these pursuits, provide energizing opportunities to embrace Judaism - now and for a lifetime.

Our six key program areas build a community anchored by Jewish values:

Leadership
Social Action
Jewish Learning
Israel
Shabbat & Holidays
Culture & The Arts

Explore each program area on our Destinations - from the Dortort Center for the Arts to Shabbat & Holidays.
