Welcome to Hillel @ Home!
SF Hillel's online programming portal (updated daily)

We regret that as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our Spring 2020 semester has drastically changed. The health and safety of our community is of utmost importance. Even though we're physically apart right now doesn't mean we have to be socially distant. Check out all the ways you can connect with SF Hillel, wherever you are. ​
Check out Hillel International's Hillel @ Home portal for even more online gatherings & programs!

Connect During Distancing

Missing social connection during social distancing? Want help with your resume? Need a wellness check? We've got you! Chat with the Student Life Team virtually: 
Schedule a time to chat with Emily!
Schedule a time to chat with Naomi!
Schedule a time to chat with Sasha!
​
Schedule a time to chat with Sophie! 

Looking for social connection that doesn't involve social media? Sign up for SF Hillel's pen pals program!

Friendship Is Blind: SF Hillel Edition

By now, we've all probably heard about Netflix's experiment to see if love is blind, so SF Hillel is putting friendship to the test! Are you ready to put your fate in SF Hillel's hands (or at least your friendship fate)? We'll send you a Zoom link and a time to log on, but you won't know who else will be there until you join. All students from across our campuses are welcome to participate. Reach out to Naomi, Emily, or Sasha with questions or concerns. Be a part of our experiment by signing up here.
