"Hillel gave me the opportunity to learn more about my passions for Judaism and Jewish life.  On my path of studying and working in the Jewish field I have learned more about myself, become a stronger leader, and developed everlasting friendships.  Hillel has become my home at Trinity College."

 

- Cheryl Gerber '07

2005 Hillel co-president

For over 60 years, Hillel has been a part of life at Trinity. Students meet weekly to plan on-campus religious, cultural, and educational events. Community-oriented events and programs are planned with the cooperation of Hartford-area organizations.

Internships are available with Jewish organizations throughout the greater Hartford Jewish community. Trinity’s Hillel also sponsors trips to national sites of Jewish interest such as the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., and the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York.

Hillel operates with a constitution and a highly empowered executive student board. Hillel members meet weekly for a general membership meeting to discuss and plan programs. All members of Hillel are welcome at the general membership meeting which gives students the option to participate and be involved in programmatic leadership opportunities.
