St. Louis Hillel seeks to enrich the lives of Jewish undergraduate and graduate students, so that they are able to enrich the Jewish people in the world. The St. Louis Hillel is committed to enabling the more than 2,000 Jewish undergraduate and graduate students we serve to "do Jewish". Hillel is not a building, a synagogue, or a youth group. Our programming reflects the interests of students, and consequently evolved as students' interests change. While the Alvin & Jeanette Goldfarb Hillel building is on the Washington University campus, Hillel programs reach students at all St. Louis area colleges and universities. Students will find Hillel in fraternity houses, dormitories, campus theaters, coffee shops and wherever students are active.

Hillel's mission is to enrich the lives of Jewish undergraduate and graduate students so that they may enrich the Jewish people and the world.

Hillel provides a Jewish home away from home for college students. We offer Shabbat and holiday services and meals, spiritual, educational, social justice, and cultural programs, individual counseling, and lots of opportunities to simply "hang out" with other Jewish students.
