From Strength to Strength: Harvard Hillel’s 2024-25 Report

Dear supporters of Harvard Hillel,

I hope this message finds you, and those you love, well.

I am simultaneously grateful and proud to be sharing this report detailing the work of Harvard Hillel during the 2024-25 year – work that you, through your generosity and commitment, made possible.

Each of us feels – in news headlines, group-chats, and in our bones – that our community, and our entire world, are in the throes of profound reckonings and reconfigurations of ideas, values, institutions, and boundaries. In the face of this vast uncertainty – the strength, integrity, and beauty of our community take on added poignance and urgency.

Harvard Hillel is rising to meet this moment – in protecting Jewish life and leading the fight against antisemitism at Harvard, and by weaving our tradition’s gifts of wisdom, friendship, and joy into the lives of Jewish students and faculty, every day.

It is a great honor to work with you in our people’s noble tradition of creativity and steely strength – to offer these gifts to today’s students, who are already joining, right now in 02138, the immortal tapestry of Jewish life.

May we go, together, from strength to strength,

Rabbi Jason Rubenstein

Executive Director
