THANK YOU for the outpouring of support during ! Together, we raised over $70,000 to strengthen our Jewish community!⁠

Throughout the past week, we shared how students come to Hillel to find a sense of belonging, explore their Jewish identity in a judgment-free space, and take leadership in building a community they are proud of. We’re here for them in every part of that experience, helping ensure they feel supported, connected, and at home.⁠

Thank you for being a part of the community that sustains UMass Hillel. This vibrant campus life is only possible because of your support—we truly could not do this without you!
