Hillel of Colorado on the High Seas

It's been a while since I told you about student life on our Colorado campuses. Hillel students set sail for an unforgettable experience.

Welcome to CSU!

CSU Hillel strives to be the "home away from home" for students. We host programming every Tuesday and Friday. On Tuesdays come enjoy some social, educational, service, or wellness events, always with food! On Friday expect a hot Shabbat meal home cooked by our student chef at the Hillel house! Our Hillel House is open to all who want to make it their home and connect to Jewish life in any way that fits them. Connect with our Director, Scott for a tour of our space! CSU Hillel is open to people of all identities; be it faith, sexual orientation, gender, ethnicity, political affiliation, or background. Hillel is an affirming space for all of our LGBTQ+ friends.

Learning and Education

Each semester, CSU Hillel hosts a cohort learning series where students gather weekly on Sundays for a home cooked brunch from one of our educators and a discussion based class to enrich your Jewish journey! Whether it is Zionism and Israel, Sex Love and Romance, or answering some of Life's Big Questions, you will have the opportunity to engage in deeper Jewish learning during your time in school with Hillel. Classes are free and some might even include a stipend! Spots are limited, applications can be found in our Instagram bio, or by speaking to our Campus Director, Scott! Food is provided for each session, and there is NO HOMEWORK!
