Since 1941, Hillel has been a vital part of the University of Miami and the greater Miami Jewish community, enriching Jewish life on campus and beyond. We invite you to connect and partner with us by joining us for High Holiday Services, Homecoming Shabbat, and special guest speakers, as well as supporting our students through our Big Night Out fundraising event and other fundraising campaigns.
big night out
We hope you will join us for our Second Annual Big Night Out on Thursday, April 16, 2026. The evening will feature Ben Seidman and support Hillel’s transformative impact on the lives of Jewish college students at the University of Miami.
Big Night Out is UM Hillel’s signature fundraising event, launched in April 2025 with an unforgettable evening of laughter, inspiration, and community featuring comedian Alex Edelman. The event brought together nearly 200 attendees and raised needed funds in support of Jewish student life at the University of Miami.
Guest Speakers
During the 2024-2025 school year, we were happy to include community members when Benny Gantz, Navatli Bennet and NOVA survivors spoke at UM Hillel. We welcome you to join us for future events. Sign up for our “Stay in the Know” newsletter to hear about future speakers.
High Holiday Services
UM Hillel’s Rabbi is in partnership with students and staff, and provides a full schedule of High Holiday offerings. Community members are welcome to join us for our High Holiday Services. Information and ticket availability are posted on our website one month before Rosh Hashanah.
Homecoming Weekend
Each year during Homecoming Weekend, we host an afternoon Open House and Candle Lighting. Join us as you reminisce about your time at UM and Hillel!
