| It is estimated that 80 percent of college-age Jews ? approximately 400,000 individuals ? attend some form of institution of higher education. The Jewish community believesthat the college years offer the last opportunity to provide Jewish content to youngpeople before they disperse to the working world. Most of these young people know little of their Jewish heritage. Hillel provides Jewish content at a time when young people are searching for meaning in their lives and are in danger of assimilating into the community around them. from Hillel.org |
