Hillel is the center of Jewish life at Northwestern and the catalyst for Jewish expression of all kinds. Hillel has a rich and storied history here at Northwestern, but our mission remains timeless: we work to inspire Jewish students to make an enduring commitment to Jewish life, and we strive to create meaningful experiences that enable our students to explore their Jewish identity while they try to figure out for themselves what it means to be human and what kind of a human being they want to be. All of this while they try to figure out how to enrich the Jewish community at Northwestern, the campus community, and the world beyond.

What's New in the Guide

Base Logan Square

Base Logan Square is located on the Westside of Chicago in Logan Square, and it is the home of Rav Moshe, Ariana, and their toddler, Toviah. Rav Moshe invites you, your friends, and family to come have lively discussions, laugh, learn Torah, creatively express yourself, eat delicious vegetarian food, have good drinks, and dive deep into the wonders of our shared Tradition through meaning making and community. Rav Moshe and Ariana hope our home will be a place where they can create a pluralistic Jewish community together, deepen relationships, and feel at home with each other, within Judaism, and in their home! 

 

Silverstein Base Chicago is made possible through generous support from the Silverstein Family, Crown Family Philanthropies, Judy & Abel Friedman, Anonymous, and JUF's Breakthrough Fund.
