Hillel is the center of Jewish life at American University, serving the cultural, religious, educational, social and political needs of all segments of our Jewish community. AU Hillel publishes a monthly newsletter and maintains an electronic mailing list, and offers a wide range of programs, as well as educational and counseling services. Hillel helps students locate internships and job opportunities, and helps students plan for Israel trips with programs and financial aid information. It also involves students with regional programming in the Washington area including social events, evenings at the Embassy of Israel, and programs of social and political interest. Hillel works with a number of active student groups, such as the AU Students for Israel, social programs and cultural events including the annual Israel Fair. The student UJC campaign has raised several thousand dollars over the past few years. Jewish law and graduate students regularly meet for social and educational programs. The Jewish women's group holds monthly Rosh Chodesh discussions and brings speakers of interest to campus. Weekly Reform, Orthodox, and Conservative services are student-led.
