Investing in Penn State Hillel


Life at Penn State Hillel is vibrant; it's energizing, and it is about being Jewish. Penn State Hillel provides exciting social, educational, religious, and cultural programming for Penn State's 6,000 Jewish students. These Jewish students will graduate from Penn State, disperse, and with your help, become future Jewish leaders.

Penn State has a large Jewish student community and is located in the middle of the state where there is one synagogue consisting of approximately 210 families. Although the State College Jewish community supports Penn State Hillel, such a small community cannot provide adequately for Penn State Hillel or the needs of our 6,000 Jewish students, as Penn State Hillel receives no funding from Penn State University.

We must safeguard our Jewish community and provide for our students' needs. Your help is needed now. Unlike Federation city-based universities, Penn State Hillel must raise 70% of our annual budget every year from friends like you. Your gifts and commitment to Penn State Hillel are our life-line; your generosity keeps Jewish life at Penn State alive.


A Hillel gift is considered a gift to Penn State,
and a gift to Penn State can always be designated to Hillel.
