Chai Society
Hillel International has made a landmark, five-year investment in UArizona Hillel, but we can only unlock these generous grants if we match them dollar-for-dollar with $1,800+ gifts from donors who are either new, or new to the $1,800+ level. Since October 7, the number of Jewish Wildcats coming to Hillel has increased three-fold. Your gift today has never been more important.
How far does $1,800 go?
A single Shabbat experience costs $1,200 and last year we doubled the number of Shabbatot we offered.
Most weeks we have programming four-to-five days per week, including Jewish Learning Fellowships, Israel Learning Fellowships, student-driven cultural programming, social justice events, text studies, movie nights, drop-in meals, Shabbat dinners and more! A single, typical week of programming–exclusive of any staff support–costs about $1,800.
In the 2021-2022 academic year...
40 Jewish Wildcats Leaders helped run over 200 programs and events
