Hillel at Stanford has a comprehensive Jewish learning vision for students during their journey at Stanford that strives to see Jewish life and individual Jews deepen their understanding of their culture, language, folkways, food, prayer, dance…to arrive at a multivalent Jewish identity. In this way, we transform ourselves, the Jewish world, and the larger world as we become more aware of who we are as individuals and as a people. Contact Rabbi Mychal for dates, programs, and information.
