Jewish Student Life

The student experience presents unlimited opportunities for embodying Jewish ideas, ethics, and practice;

our Hillel brings these opportunities to life at University of Chicago. 

Students come to the University of Chicago from across the country and around the world, representing a remarkable spectrum of Jewish identities and experiences. We uphold the authenticity of students from all backgrounds:

Sephardi and Ashkenazi, Conservative, Orthodox, Reform, Reconstructionist, and post-denominational.

We recognize that students thrive when they have access to friends with similar life experience as well as

the opportunity to grow when they encounter difference.
