Hey there, I’m Diana! I found Hillel halfway through my freshmen year and haven’t looked back since. It allows me to practice my passion and share it with everyone else. I love the accepting environment that Hillel creates.

Welcome to the CSU Hillel RAMily
CSU Hillel strives to be the “home away from home” for students. That is why we call ourselves the Hillel Ramily, as the mascot of our school is the Rams!
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.
Connecting to our CSU faith communities
CSU Hillel is an integral part of the Interfaith Communities of Fort Collins and Northern Colorado: we co-sponsor and cook an annual Kosher Interfaith Feast dinner with the CSU Multifaith Partners; participate in Better Together Days by hosting students from other faiths; and welcome ALL students interested in learning about Jewish life to our weekly Shabbat dinners.
Holiday Celebrations
CSU Hillel is your one-stop shop to celebrate the many special holidays throughout the year.
Rosh Hashanah apples and honey? We got that. Hanukkah? We’ll have a Dreidel game night. Passover? We’ll put on a delicious chocolate Seder.
CSU Hillel RAM Kibbutz Urban Farm Programming
Fun fact: CSU Hillel was the first student-led organization to be certified by Hazon, the Jewish lab for sustainability. We pride ourselves on being an ecological leader with our recycling, composting and energy efficient efforts. We not only grow vegetables, but we provide a fun life for chickens and ducks! A team of “Chicken Tenders” makes sure they have plenty of food and play time. Interested in becoming part of this team? E-mail Scott at scott@hillelcolorado.org
A Word From Our Campus Director
Scott Gerstel
Dear Students,
Welcome to CSU Hillel! I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to connect with you and to invite you to explore the experiences and opportunities we offer.
We are a dynamic, inclusive, and supportive community, where every student can explore their Jewish identity, engage in meaningful traditions, and build lasting connections.
As we embark on this journey together, I encourage you to get involved, share your ideas, and take full advantage of everything we offer.

After moving to Colorado alone, away from everyone he knew, Hillel was comforting and familiar.

Some things I love about Hillel are the cool people and the cozy house!
Diana Kloek
Chef/Kibbutz Intern
I grew up in an area that had a very small Jewish population so it is so cool to see so many of us in one place!
Zoe Sernovitz
Kibbutz Intern
My favorite things about Hillel are the close-knit community and our amazing ducks and chickens.
