Welcome Parents!
Your student is now part of one of the most vibrant, diverse and intelligent Jewish communities around. Metro Chicago Hillel is constantly expanding - now supporting students on more than 18 campuses around the Chicagoland area! We take our responsibility to Jewish students seriously, and do all we can to make them feel cared for, empowered, challenged, and valued the way they do at home. It is our hope that parents feel comfortable knowing that Metro Chicago Hillel is a home away from home for many students, and we take care to make that home warm and open for anyone who needs it.
Metro Chicago Hillel staff are always meeting with students to engage them in the community, empower them as leaders and talk about what they want to experience on and off campus. We also are prepared to assist students with just about any problem he or she may have as undergraduates and as young adults through Silverstein Base Chicago.
Should you ever have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at (312) 829-1595 or info@metrochicagohillel.org.
