SF Hillel+
Because your Jewish home doesnβt close the door when you graduate.
Recent college graduate? Young professional? Non-traditional student? SF Hillel+ has a place for you.
SF Hillel+ brings together Jewish young adults in their 20s and 30s throughout San Francisco and the Bay Area who are looking to build community, explore Jewish life, and form meaningful connections.
About SF Hillel+
SF Hillel+ is a growing community for Jewish young adults through age 39, including graduate students, recent alumni, young professionals, and nontraditional undergraduate students.
The program grew out of a changing landscape for young adults in the Bay Area. We saw several young-adult programs coming to an end and an influx of post-college graduates moving to San Francisco in search of community. Many had been involved with Hillel during their undergraduate years, and when they arrived in a new city, they reached out to us first. We saw an opportunity to help fill a gap.
Over the past year, weβve been building a warm, inclusive, and fun community of Jewish young adults who are eager to connect, build relationships, and create a sense of belonging together.
SF Hillel+ is a place to find community in a new city, deepen Jewish connections, and share meaningful experiences with others.
