Welcome from the Executive Director

Hello Jewish Miami! I am thrilled to extend a heartfelt welcome to each of you, whether you are returning, joining us for the first time, or just stopping by. 

For over 70 years, Hillel at Miami has been a leading community-building fixture on Miami’s campus. We are proud to offer a diverse range of programming that caters to various interests, from cultural events and holiday celebrations to social justice initiatives, travel to Israel, and leadership development opportunities. The Jewish Business Leadership Council is a prime example of how Hillel integrates professional development with Jewish values, preparing students for future success while deepening their Jewish identity. This blend of community, education, and engagement makes Hillel at Miami an exceptional place for students to grow and thrive.

Hillel at Miami University is deeply committed to pluralistic Judaism, embracing the rich diversity of Jewish identities and practices within our community. Our staff and student leadership strive to create an inclusive environment where every student feels valued and empowered to explore their Jewish journey. Whether you identify with a particular denomination or seek to connect with your Jewish culture for the first time, Hillel is a welcoming home for all Jewish students. During these critical college years, we provide a supportive space for personal growth, meaningful connections, and vibrant engagement with Jewish life, ensuring every student can thrive in their unique path. Together, we celebrate our differences while finding strength in our shared values, fostering a community where everyone can flourish.

I hope you’ll join us for a meal or coffee or just stop by and introduce yourself. We genuinely love what we do and can’t wait to meet you.

B’Shalom,

Whitney
