Whether students keep kosher or have never attended synagogue; whether they want to participate in Shabbat or in a study group; whether they identify as Queer, Black, Ashkenazi, Sephardi, or all of the above. Hillel Edmonton enables Jewish post-secondary students to freely explore what being Jewish in today’s world means to them.
We are a tight-knit, fun-loving group of people who aim to provide a community on campus for students interested in Judaism and Jewish life. We are a student-run organization that brings Jewish life alive on campus through education, community service, and social events that are supported by the Jewish Federation of Edmonton.
Hillel Edmonton encourages students of all backgrounds to form deep, personal connections to Jewish life, learning, and Israel through Jewish exploration, leadership, and a sense of belonging.
We support students’ spiritual growth and wellness, promote leadership development and empower students to make an impact on the broader community. Hillel Edmonton builds relationships that promote understanding among diverse groups, advocates for Jewish students, and strives to ensure a safe and supportive atmosphere on campus.
