UF Hillel

University of Florida is home to one of the largest Jewish student populations in the United States. UF Hillel seeks to provide EVERY Jewish student at UF and Santa Fe with a positive and meaningful Jewish experience -- one that they will carry with them long after graduation. At a university as large as UF, making sure our students feel they belong is an often unseen, but critical aspect of UF Hillel's work. Our professional staff, led by Rabbi Jonah Zinn, work tirelessly to advocate on behalf of Jewish students. We build strong relationships with university administrators, bring non-Jewish, influential student leaders to Israel, assist students if they have a conflict related to religious observance, educate student groups and departments about Jewish cultural competencies, and so much more. UF Hillel has proudly served the needs of Jewish students directly and indirectly for more than 75 years, and we're just getting started.
