Hillel Information




Hillel Foundation


There is a large Jewish population in the Greek system, in both Jewish houses (AEPi, AEPh) and general houses. Israel-related activities (cultural, political, travel) are popular. Hillel is active in "Tzedek" (social action and community service) around campus and Iowa City. Arts and culture programming (film series, readings by Jewish authors) is widespread. UI students integrate into the local Jewish community, serving as youth group advisors and religious school teachers.
