Kentucky Hillel

We are the pluralistic and egalitarian Jewish student organization at the University of Kentucky!

In addition to UK, we serve students from all Central Kentucky colleges and universities, including Transylvania, BCTC, Eastern Kentucky, Centre, and Berea.

We are committed to providing a warm and welcoming Jewish community open to students of any religious identity! Make Hillel your Jewish home-away-from-home, and join us for Shabbat, holidays, community service, or various social activities! For more information on getting involved, feel free to reach out to any of our student board members or Director of Religious and Spiritual Life Justin Sadle!
