UNC Hillel is here to support you

Being a part of a Jewish community means celebrating together in times of joy and grieving together in times of sadness. UNC Hillel is here to support you and provide comfort during difficult times. As our University community grapples with an epidemic of mental health struggles, UNC Hillel is working to connect our students to resources and community.

Hillel resources:

  • The UNC Hillel building will be open, and Hillel staff will be present, Monday-Friday, 10:00 am-5:00 pm. Shabbat gathering, prayer, and dinner will be from 6:00-8:30 pm on Friday. As is Jewish tradition in times of difficulty and sadness, we’ll be providing snacks. Masks are required indoors, and we ask that you eat food outdoors on the porch, front lawn, or side yard.

  • During the University’s Wellness Day on Tuesday, October 12, Hillel will be open for a Wellness Day. Our social media will highlight the day’s activities as our schedule comes together.

Other Hillel staff are also available to connect you to resources. Please reach out to us via email or Calendly:

In the Talmud, it is written: Whoever saves one life, it is as if they have saved the whole world. Each of our students is an entire world to their friends, family, and our Hillel community.
