Explore The New School

Hillel at TNS, the center of Jewish life at The New School, serves a tight-knit Jewish community on an urban campus in Manhattan. At The New School, Hillel offers Jewish learning and Israel education programs, leadership opportunities, coffee dates with Hillel staff and interns, and so much more! Hillel is a great way to make friends and find a community on campus.

Our mission is to enrich the lives of the Jewish undergraduate and graduate students at TNS so they may enrich the Jewish people and the world. Hillel provides quality programming, student engagement, leadership opportunities and professional support to The New School community in order to: promote the values of pluralism, tikkun olam, Israel, and the Jewish world so that students can develop significant relationships and meaningful Jewish experiences.
