Welcome to Oberlin College Hillel

Who are we?

Oberlin Hillel strives to create a vibrant Jewish community for students on campus. Hillel is a student-centered, pluralistic Jewish space that welcomes people of all movement and secular backgrounds, cultures, sexual orientations, gender identities, and all approaches to Israel.

The Cleveland Hillel Foundation provides the college with a campus rabbi and a Social Justice Springboard Fellow who encourage and facilitate Jewish activities at Oberlin.
