Hillel of Northern Nevada

Welcome to your Jewish home away from home, where you always have family!

Hillel of Northern Nevada serves The University of Nevada Reno, Truckee Meadows Community College, Western Nevada College, Carrington College - Reno & More!

At Hillel, we are our students’ home away from home. Hillel's main priority is to be the home of Jewish Life on campus at UNR and other Nothern Nevada college campuses. We work to provide a safe place for our students to discover their connection to Judaism in their own way. Through our experiential programming, Hillel empowers Jewish students to find their place in the Jewish world and define themselves Jewishly within the larger community. Safety is also a top priority of Hillel. We are at the forefront of combatting antisemitism on campus.
