Dear Parents,
College is an exciting time in the life of a young adult! Being involved in Hillel is one way to make a large university feel smaller and more personal, which is why I am so excited to tell you about the Helene G. Simon Hillel Center at Indiana University. We pride ourselves on creating a strong Jewish community and a “Jewish home away from home” for over 4,000 Jewish students. We offer everything from weekly Shabbat services and FREE Shabbat dinners, to delivering FREE matzah ball soup to sick students. Hillel touches the lives of every Jewish student at IU through programs, religious observances, advocacy on campus, and by reminding students of the strong Jewish community at IU and in Bloomington.
I would like to introduce you to our Parents Club, an opportunity for you to enable Hillel to continue to provide award-winning and nationally-recognized programs and services to your student while s/he attends Indiana University. Even if your child does not take advantage of Hillel’s programming and services directly, s/he will still benefit from IU Hillel’s work to create a community that fosters a rich Jewish life. When you become a Chai-Giver in our Parents Club, you will be helping us to nurture your child’s Jewish self. This membership will help to sustain our many creative programs and enable us to continue to inspire students to become leaders. Your tax-deductible Chai-Giver donation will also provide you and your child with many exciting benefits. Read on to find out more about the many giving options available:
