Jewish Life at Amherst College Hillel is staffed by Rabbi Bruce Bromberg Seltzer, the college Jewish Religious Advisor.
Amherst Hillel provides community for Jewish students and religious, social, cultural, and educational programming open to the entire Amherst community. For fall 2020, we are operating in a hybrid fashion due to Covid-19 with most events occurring over zoom with limited, socially-distanced events happening outside.
