Israel
Hillel cultivates among Jewish students a passion about Israel and a sense of personal attachment with the country and its people. Hillel provides all students opportunities to learn about Israel and its central role in defining the Jewish experience today and provides a safe space for students to express a wide spectrum of views regarding their relationships with Israel.
IsraelFest
Two years ago, we launched the first-ever IsraelFest at Georgia State University in Library Plaza and it has grown! Jewish students from Georgia State University worked together to present a taste of Israel to the campus community and over 300 people stopped by our boothes.
Please email Ginny Adams for more information about getting involved!
