Hillel 2006 Annual Report

In 2006, the Board of Directors of Hillel: The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life approved Hillel’s five- year Strategic Plan which included a clear definition of the organization’s vision, mission and values.

Vision Hillel seeks to inspire every Jewish student Values to make an enduring Hillel pursues its mission by: commitment to w Creating a pluralistic, welcoming and inclusive environment; Jewish life. w Fostering student growth and the balance in being distinctively Jewish and universally human; w Advancing tzedek (social justice), Jewish learning and spirituality; w Embracing and global Jewish peoplehood; and Mission w Delivering excellence, innovation, accountability and results. Hillel’s mission is to enrich the lives of Jewish undergraduate and graduate students so that they may enrich the Jewish people and the world.

The actress Natalie Portman credits Hillel with providing her first positive Jewish experience in an American Jewish group. Speaking to journalist Abigail Pogrebin in the 2005 book “Stars of David,” Portman said:

"The first time I felt comfortable in an American religious institution was in college, because campus Hillel was inclusive. And it's nice having dinner every week with everyone. Anyone was welcome, so we'd bring all our friends to dinner…." In 2006, Hillel began a process to ensure that all Jewish students have an equally meaningful Jewish experience on their campuses.

Last year, Hillel adopted a five-year Strategic Plan whose central goal is to “double the number of Jewish undergraduate and graduate students who are involved in Jewish life and who have meaningful Jewish experiences.” The Strategic Plan also sets standards in the areas of human resources, campus relationships, performance and financial resources.

The Strategic Plan was one highlight of a historic year that also included the first Summit on the University and the Jewish Community, the election of Wayne Firestone to succeed Avraham Infeld as president of the organization, and unprecedented work to help residents of the Gulf of Mexico recover from hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Hillel has strived to strengthen itself so that it can fulfill its mission: “to enrich the lives of Jewish undergraduate and graduate students so that they may enrich the Jewish people and the world.”

In the words of Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel:

“Hillel is giving students the possibility to not only live Jewishly, but to live Jewishly with joy.”
