Explore Metro Chicago Hillel

Metro Chicago Hillel is the center for Jewish life for college students at many Chicago-based schools. Our campus and cross-campus programming, including Silverstein Base in Lincoln Park, Base Logan Square, and Base Loop, contributes to the strength of our Jewish community and creates a welcoming environment for every student to embrace Jewish traditions while exploring their own Jewish identity. We inspire Jewish students to make an enduring commitment to Jewish life by serving the cultural, religious and social needs of our diverse community.
