Jewish Life at Stony Brook

Mission: Stony Brook Hillel is an inclusive, welcoming and safe home for Jewish college students at Stony Brook University to explore their relationship with Judaism, Israel and each other.

Vision: We strive to create a dynamic space where students feel a sense of community, the desire to explore, and the freedom to be authentic, and are empowered to lead.

Hillel plays an essential role in fostering a safe and welcoming environment where Jewish students can explore their identity, celebrate their sacred traditions and find a sense of belonging. By providing community, education and Jewish joy, Stony Brook Hillel actively works to counteract antisemitism, ensuring that Jewish students are empowered to stand proud and strong in their identity. This support is crucial in an era where fear and antisemitism threaten to undermine the core value of inclusion that our university strives to uphold.
