Today, when university students are faced with a bewildering array of possibilities, choosing to participate in Jewish life on campus must be made a compelling option. It is Hillel’s challenge to provide engaging, meaningful experiences – experiences that will frame their future. As the foundation of the campus Jewish community, Hillel at the University of Oklahoma is enjoying a renaissance through its activities, programs and services. Investors in Hillel at OU ensure that an inviting and nurturing Jewish community will continue to exist on the campus. Shareholders in the program see a return on their investment, as the Hillel Foundation touches the lives of young Jews from throughout the state and the nation - both today, and for generations to come.

Our Jewish community is a tapestry of many interwoven partnerships between our Hillel and area Federations, the University of Oklahoma, and Jewish community organizations with an interest in OU campus life. Each partnership enhances the campus community and assures a creative, joyous, and confident future. Yet the key partnership for OU Hillel’s success is with its investors: philanthropists desirous of shaping a community of pride; parents and grandparents seeking to transmit a Jewish life of meaning; visionaries searching for ways to create an exciting Jewish continuity; and alumni providing their alma mater with the necessary resources to shape the next generation of Jewish leadership. The commitment of these supporters fortifies the fabric of Jewish life by turning dreams into realities, transforming promise into product and equipping this generation of college students to become the leaders of the Jewish community tomorrow.

Through the essential work of the Hillel Foundation, members of our campus Jewish community have the opportunity to participate in Jewish learning and living of all kinds – with religious, cultural, social, educational and civic activity taking place everyday of the week. Hillel at OU is a warm and nurturing home for Jewish students, providing them with a welcoming space for the celebration of Jewish traditions, the exploration of their Jewish identities, the concretization of Jewish values and the opportunity to connect with other young Jews.

Your investment will facilitate the engagement and empowerment of Jews on the campus of OU today and will enable them to realize a Jewish future of hope and possibility. As an ever-greater number of students find their way through the doors of the Hillel Foundation, enhanced human and program resources, a reinvigorated facility, and sound fiscal stability will help build a Jewish renaissance and a Hillel of optimism and pride at the University of Oklahoma.
