About Schilit Hillel
University of Florida is home to one of the largest Jewish student populations in the United States. The Diane and Howard Schilit Hillel at University of Florida seeks to provide EVERY Jewish Gator with a positive and meaningful Jewish experience during their time at UF - one that they will carry with them long after graduation.
At a university as large as UF, our Hillel provides Jewish students with community and connection through a wide range of opportunities. Each year Schilit Hillel takes hundreds of students to Israel; empowers hundreds of students to explore their Jewish identity through fellowships and internships in Jewish learning, community organizing, social justice, Israel, and more; serves thousands of Shabbat and holiday meals; and supports the work of hundreds of student leaders who oversee a full calendar of programming.
We are not a membership-based organization, anyone and everyone is welcome anytime.
MISSION
Schilit Hillel's mission is to enrich the lives of Jewish students so that they may enrich the Jewish people and the world.
VISION
Schilit Hillel envisions a campus community where every Jewish Gator is inspired to make an enduring commitment to Jewish life, learning and Israel.
