Hillel's Young Jewish Urbanites

"Distinctively Jewish, Universally Human"

The mission of Vancouver Hillel's Young Jewish Urbanites (HYJU) is to build and strengthen British Columbia’s growing network of young, Jewish "Urbanites," ages 22 to mid-30's, living, studying and working in Greater Vancouver.

HYJU offers an array of social, cultural, recreational, educational and community-based events designed to meet the interests and needs of this vibrant group.

Programs are planned according to interest and are initiated by a volunteer committee with the support of Vancouver Hillel staff. Membership in HYJU is free. Volunteering on the planning committee is flexible and rewarding as roles and time commitment are tailored according to interest.
