Itβs kickoff time for the Hillel Big Ten Challenge!
For the next 72 hours, we invite you to make a gift to this special campaign and support Jewish Boilermakers at Purdue! Thanks to a group of generous donors all gifts made during this campaign will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, up to $27,500 for the whole campaign.
Since the start of the semester, Hillel has made a giant impact, hosting over 400 of students for Shabbat and High Holidays and welcoming students to scores of social, ritual, worship, Jewish learning, and social justice programs. Weβve started strong AND we need your help to fuel impact for the rest of the semester! We saw our largest Bagel Break ever on the second day of Rosh Hashanah, with more than 125 students joining us in the building!
With over 50,000 Jewish students on Big Ten campuses today and hundreds of thousands of Jewish alumni, parents, grandparents, and community members, we hope youβll help us create a rising tide that lifts Jewish life on all campuses by donating now.
Follow us on Instagram and Facebook to see Jewish students at Purdue in action all year long!
