UTD Hillel

About Us

UTD Hillel is the center for Jewish life at the University of Texas at Dallas. We support Jewish students, foster community, and celebrate Jewish life on campus. As a home for Jewish students, we provide a welcoming space to explore identity and build lifelong friendships.

Our Impact

Hillel’s Mission: Enriching the lives of Jewish students so that they may enrich the Jewish people and the world.

At UTD, we bring this mission to life by:

  • Hosting Shabbat dinners, holiday celebrations, and cultural events that foster connection.
  • Offering Jewish learning fellowships, mentorship, and one-on-one support to help students grow personally and spiritually.
  • Providing a safe, welcoming space for students to explore and celebrate their Jewish identity.
  • Promoting awareness and understanding of Jewish life on campus for the broader community.

What We’re Fundraising For

UTD Hillel Student Support Fund
This fund provides essential support for Jewish student life, including:

  • Funding for Shabbat dinners, holiday programs, and cultural events.
  • Opportunities to engage with Israeli culture and global Jewish experiences.
  • Scholarships and stipends for Jewish Learning Fellowship and Israel Learning Fellowship participants.

The more we raise, the more students we can support in building meaningful Jewish connections and experiences.

Why Your Support Matters

By giving to UTD Hillel, you will:

  • Ensure students have access to Jewish community and cultural experiences.
  • Support leadership development and learning opportunities.
  • Help create a welcoming environment where Jewish students feel seen, supported, and celebrated.
  • Invest in the next generation of Jewish leaders and community members.

Every gift, large or small, directly impacts students’ experiences and helps UTD Hillel continue to grow as a home for Jewish life. Join us in making a difference today!
