Hillel at Geneseo

To see what we're up to lately, visit linktr.ee/geneseohillel


Hillel at Geneseo is a place where Jewish students can find their home away from home. Hillel is committed to providing a pluralistic, egalitarian, and inclusive community for Jewish college students, where they are encouraged to grow intellectually, spiritually, and socially.

Hillel helps students find a balance in being distinctively Jewish and universally human by encouraging them to pursue tzedek (social justice), tikkun olam (repairing the world) and Jewish learning; to support global Jewish peoplehood.

What Students Say About Hillel

"Walking into Hillel makes me feel so excited! Everyone there is so friendly and welcoming and I met multiple new friends there."

— Sam Harris, Class of 2022

"Hillel is a home to me. Every time we’re together cooking, singing, praying, and laughing I feel connected to my Jewish identity."

— Evan Panzer, Class of 2022

"I always look forward to walking into Hillel every week because it is the perfect way to cool down after a long, stressful week. I get to observe Shabbat surrounded by other incredible students and it is such a relaxed, comfortable setting where, for the time being, I can concentrate on my religion and culture rather than on academics. It is a perfect setting for me."

— Leila Sassouni, Class of 2022

"Walking into Hillel makes me feel like I'm home. Everyone cares about each other and is there to support you without judgement."

— Claire Shroder, Class of 2023
