If you've experienced antisemitism on campus,

Donate

Help enrich the lives of York's Jewish students.

Consider this:

95% of young Jewish adults between the ages of 18-24 years old can be found on a university or college campus somewhere across North America. And studies show a trend that these Jewish adults are less likely to celebrate Shabbat and Jewish holidays than previous generations.

The good news?

Hillel students are THREE TIMES MORE LIKELY to celebrate Shabbat and Jewish holidays after they graduate than those who did not participate in Hillel. 

Thank you for ensuring we can reverse this trend.
