Help Make our Dream a Reality

The mission of Hillel is to provide a place for Jewish life and Jewish community on campus. The new Hillel will be the home base for:

Creating a strong, vibrant Jewish community.

Ensuring that Jewish college students will have opportunities to develop leadership skills and connect with Judaism in traditional and creative ways.

A strong anchor in the center of campus to educate the campus community about Judaism, combat antisemitism, and provide a welcoming environment for the entire IU campus to engage with IU’s Jewish community.

Providing a warm, relaxing home away from home, including flexible multi-purpose spaces; a full-service kosher dining room, exhibition/interactive space, a sports grill, and outdoor recreational space.

Increasing our space from 9900 sq. feet to 20,000-30,000 sq. feet

Please contact Judith at judith@iuhillel.org if interested in giving to the Capital Campaign.


When our twins decided to come from LA, Hillel was a major part of their decision. Since they’ve been here, Hillel has become their home away from home. It has allowed them to grow as students, Jews and human beings. Our third child will be a freshman in the Fall and Hillel is a big reason he is coming to IU, like a growing number of Jewish students in LA.
