Get to know Hillel
A recognized leader in the international Hillel movement, Hillel Ontario amplifies Jewish campus life at nine universities across the province.
That’s why we centralize organizational thought-leadership, stakeholder relations, philanthropy, and operations to enable our campus professionals to spend the most time possible working directly with students.
Hillel embraces religious and political diversity in an inclusive environment, and supports a broad spectrum of identities while students grow intellectually, socially, and spiritually, opening up new ways for them to make a meaningful impact on the future of the Jewish people and the world.
Through innovative campus programming, student leadership training, life-changing immersive experiences, and educational and religious initiatives, Hillel engages, empowers, and inspires the next generation of Jewish leaders to make an enduring commitment to Jewish life, Jewish learning and Israel.
To be a compelling community for all Jewish students, one where they gather, celebrate, and develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
Generations of empowered Jews who are joyful, passionate, and resilient, have an enduring relationship with Jewish tradition and Israel, and feel a sense of belonging in Jewish communities.
Hillel Ontario works in partnership with its Board of Directors to effectively manage the organization and strive towards achieving its vision.

Hillel Ontario
We engage and support Jewish students in the most important areas of their lives and ensure their concerns are preeminent in our work.
We take unwavering pride in our multifaceted Jewish inheritance, even in the face of adversity.
We engage each person holistically, recognizing that "Jewish" is one of multiple identities individuals carry.
We welcome an expansive definition of Jewish expression and the unlimited learning that flows from diversity of though, perspective and identity.
We support calculated risk - taking and learning from our missteps as a way to adapt and improve
We emphasize the generative power of intentional partnering with communal stakeholders across the university, and amongst our campus Hillels.
We treasure the Jewish people as a nation and our unbreakable ties with the Land of Israel, the Jewish and democratic state that thrives there, and the people who live there.
We believe in the importance of Jewish values and ground our communities in holiness, decency, and respect.
