Our Most Successful Giving Week Ever
When we launched Hillel Global Giving Week a week ago, we set an ambitious goal: $100,000 to support Jewish life at Harvard. By midweek, thanks to so many of you, we were well on our way. When all was said and done, we had not only reached that goal but surpassed our $125,000 stretch goal, raising a total of $136,174, and making this the most successful Hillel Global Giving Week in Harvard Hillel’s history.

On Giving Tuesday and Sunday Mornings
There is no more effective antidote to the specters of isolation, loneliness, and alienation that haunt today’s youth – than the warmth of community that is formed every week, over bagels and lox, capers and coffee. Your support is what makes this happen – not just bagels, but the connective tissue of Jewish life at Harvard.
