Vancouver Hillel creates connections and Jewish journeys:

Hillel and Jewish journeys are important because they provide Jewish students with countless opportunities for self-discovery and personal growth. The friendship and mentorships that are formed at Vancouver Hillel are life-lasting and have a great impact. Vancouver Hillel’s calendar is rooted in a strong tradition of social, educational, cultural, recreational and religious activities; exemplary students are routinely nominated for leadership training and travel opportunities. Many Vancouver Hillel alumni have applied their experience with Vancouver Hillel to further enhance their post-graduate and community work.
