Our Voices

Here's what Hillel families have to say about our school

Gindi Family

A young boy with curly brown hair smiles in a blue hoodie with a yellow logo, standing in front of shelves filled with various items.

“Hillel has strengthened not only our children's Jewish identity, but also my husband's and my own connection to Jewish life and community. Especially after October 7th, we felt immense gratitude knowing our children were surrounded by safety, love, understanding and pride."

Horwitz Family

A young boy wearing a kippah and a green patterned shirt smiles in the foreground, with a blurred background of bookshelves.

“Hillel has had a profound impact on our three children. Each child has found their own place to thrive, grow and feel truly seen. Hillel has given our children not only knowledge, but confidence, creativity and a deep love of Jewish life and learning. We feel the same love and gratitude for the school that has shaped them so beautifully,"

 

Rosenberg Family

A smiling young girl with glasses in a pink t-shirt stands in front of a blurred background of shelves filled with colorful items.

“In a world where many Jewish people stay silent, our Hillel students stand proudly and openly in their Judaism. That pride does not appear by chance, it's nurtured through the values and education woven into their daily lives at Hillel. Their love for Judaism and Israel is not abstract; it is alive, personal, and deeply rooted."

 

Rothberger Family

“During his first year of middle school, our son became quieter, more anxious and felt like he could not be himself. Two minutes into our tour of Hillel, we knew it was the right place for him. Since switching to Hillel, he's formed meaningful friendships, developed confidence and found teachers who truly know him. Hillel did not just provide our son with an education, it gave him a community."
