Explore McMaster Hillel

Hillel's mission is to enrich the experience of Jewish McMaster students so that they may enrich campus life, the Jewish people, and the world. McMaster Hillel is dedicated to creating a pluralistic, welcoming and inclusive environment for Jewish university students, where they are encouraged to grow intellectually, spiritually and socially. McMaster Hillel helps students find a balance in being distinctively Jewish and universally human by encouraging them to pursue tzedek (social justice), tikkun olam (repairing the world), Jewish learning, global Jewish community, and a personal relationship with Judaism.
