Our Mission

The mission of Iowa Hillel is to enhance the lives of Jewish students at the University of Iowa, so they may enrich the Jewish people and the world. Iowa Hillel envisions a world for our students where they find a community here at Iowa and a place to create or explore their connection to Judaism in a way that is meaningful for them that lasts far beyond their years at school.


Hillel has been a place for me to grow spiritually, academically, and socially through weekly Shabbat services and dinner, study spaces, and becoming the place to hang out with my friends.
— Zachary Savitz, University of Iowa Senior

University Presence

Hillel has been serving University of Iowa students almost as long as Jewish students have been at the university. Over the years, Hillel students have sought to build the Jewish community on campus and raise the university and Iowa City communities’ awareness of issues related to culture, ethnicity, and basic human rights. Today, Hillel works with other student organizations to serve as an impetus for the development of understanding and friendship with other cultural, ethnic, and religious groups within the University and throughout Iowa.
