Hillels in South America
With four centers, Hillel is creating meaningful, exciting opportunities for Latin American Jews.
Hillel has served young adults in South America for over a decade. Through meaningful and life-changing experiences, Hillels in Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay invest in the growth of Jewish young adults, regardless of how they live their Judaism. Knowing their participants have varying interests, South American Hillels provide professional and personal opportunities such as social action projects, Israel advocacy, business clubs, entrepreneurship, and of course, trips to the beach! These Hillels give young adults a pathway to grow in a global world and become stronger leaders guided by Jewish values.
Hillel Rio opened many doors for me. It helped me develop myself both personally and professionally. I never imagined that I would feel a part of the Jewish community like I do today.
