Confronting Antisemitism

As the world’s largest Jewish student organization, Hillel takes a leading role in confronting antisemitism on campus to ensure the safety and security of Jewish students.

Hillel works with students, campus professionals, Jewish communal and higher education leaders to proactively address and counter antisemitic activity on campus and in online spaces through varied initiatives and programs. We aim to empower Jewish students to speak out against hate, and we educate broader campus communities to ensure antisemitism is rightly situated at the margins of campus discourse.
