Our mission is to enrich the lives of Jewish students at the College of Staten Island and Wagner College, as well as other college-aged students and young professionals.
Partnership with Joan & Alan Bernikow JCC of Staten Island
Our Hillel is run through a management agreement with the Joan & Alan Bernikow JCC of Staten Island. This unique model allows Hillel to extend its reach beyond the campus, ensuring continued support for students even after graduation. Together, we are building a vibrant, inclusive, and resilient Jewish community on Staten Island.
We inspire students and teach them core Jewish values, including:
Chessed (loving kindness)
Community
Tikkun Olam (repairing the world)
Jewish Identity
Tzedakah (charity)
Israel
Fostering Community
Our vision is to expand both on and off campus, fostering safe, welcoming spaces and meaningful opportunities for engagement and connection, building a vibrant, inclusive, and resilient Jewish community on Staten Island.
Our programs support the overall growth and well-being of our community, offering wellness events, Jewish learning, Hebrew courses, lunch and learns, sports, lectures, workshops, volunteering opportunities, Shabbat and holiday experiences, and much more!
We enhance the Jewish student experience and support young professionals in our community.
We plan to enhance our on-campus spaces, connect to more Jewish young professionals, and strengthen outreach in the community.
