About Queens Hillel

Located in the heart of the world’s borough, our students represent more diversity in religious traditions, ethnicities, kinds of Jewish education and communal involvement, socioeconomic backgrounds, and academic profiles than any other Hillel in the United States. We serve “commuters” (who come to campus and then go home) and “residents” (who live in the dormitory or neighborhood apartments) alike. Our students represent the future of the New York Jewish community, as the vast majority will likely stay close to home after graduation.

As we work to achieve our mission of enriching the lives of Jewish students so that they may enrich the Jewish people and the world, we strive to be an inclusive resource that empowers students to engage in open-ended identity exploration, mentors them to seek and find what they need and feel passionate about, and coaches them to actualize their big ideas. Since our founding in 1947, our primary campus community and home has been Queens College. Today, we’re an award-winning Hillel with the inspiring vision to serve every Jewish college student in the borough whether they attend Queens College, Queensborough Community College, LaGuardia Community College, or St. John’s University.

About Hillel International

In 1923, Rabbi Benjamin Frankel started Hillel with humble means, a noble mission and a breathtaking vision: to convey Jewish civilization to a new generation. Today, Hillel International continues to enrich the lives of Jewish students and is the largest Jewish campus organization in the world at nearly 1,000 colleges and universities across North America and around the world. As Hillel evolves as an organization, the mission remains steadfast: to create lasting connections with every Jewish student that foster an enduring commitment to Jewish life, learning, and Israel and train them to become the next Jewish leaders.

Hillel is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to creating an accepting and inclusive environment for all.
