Hillel of Western Washington University is a catalyst toward a meaningful Jewish life for students and young professionals in the Bellingham community through meaningful experiences. Our organization’s goal is to foster strong relationships between students at all Bellingham area schools and their communities, to cultivate strong leaders. We strive to provide student-orientated programs, like weekend retreats and tzedakah (social action) so that students gain a sense of identity and Jewish relevance.
On a typical week at our Hillel you can find students engaged in social justice and leadership projects, exploring beautiful Bellingham, eating bagels and schmoozing on campus, and enjoying special events around the Jewish holidays.
