Jewish Life at Hillel

As a proud member of the Hillel International network, Trinity Hillel is home base for Jewish life on campus, providing an inviting, comfortable environment for Jewish students to connect with their own Jewish identity and campus community.

Trinity’s Zachs Hillel House is an inclusive gathering space where students often invite friends of all backgrounds to join in on festivities and events, creating a vibrant community among students, staff and faculty here on campus. We welcome all to engage with and learn about Jewish life in a creative  setting.
