HIGH HOLIDAYS
In our socially distanced world, students across Georgia are relying on Hillel for access to Jewish community and experiences during the High Holidays and throughout the year. Your generous support allows us to continue to offer connections and programs to meet Jewish students' interests while keeping them safe and healthy.
ALUMNI
Just because you’ve graduated and left Emory doesn’t mean you leave behind the Jewish community you’ve created. As you think back on your time at Emory we hope Hillel Shabbat dinners, Sushi Tuesday, and Israel Fest are just a few memories that stand out. We pride ourselves on having one of the premier programs of Jewish Student Life in the country, and our alumni are an essential component of the dynamic growth and development of Jewish Life on campus. As proud alumni, we hope you will share in the excitement which is Jewish Life at Emory Hillel.
Just as you support us by sharing stories of your time on campus and by financially supporting Jewish life on campus, so too, do we want to support you as alumni.
There are many ways to stay connected and stay involved that we would love to partner in. Stay informed of Hillel and campus happenings, mentor an undergraduate student, help recent graduates settle into the community you live in, or just hear what other Jewish alumni are up to.
Please fill out our Where are you now form to share your own new happenings and interests.
PARENTS
We are excited to welcome your student to their Jewish home away from home! At Hillel we seek to create an open, inclusive Jewish environment for every student, and our staff will strive to ensure that everyone feels at home as a vital member of our Hillel family.
Parent contributions of any amount are vital for Hillel to engage, support, and inspire every Jewish student on campus. Your support helps us provide free Jewish programming, kosher Shabbat and holiday meals, leadership opportunities, and so much more!

Parents play an integral role in the building and sustaining of Jewish life for the 1,500 Jewish students on campus. We encourage our parents to get involved with Hillel by providing financial support for our programs, providing leadership for our parent and family activities, and helping Emory Hillel connect with our supporting communities.
