MAIN ISSUES

The mission of “Hillel” in Russia is to strengthen the self-awareness of Jewish youth 18-27 years old and to involve them in the world Jewish community.

Hillel Russia is a Russian charitable foundation with efficient and transparent governance, supported by philanthropists (private and institutional). Hillel creates a friendly, comfortable environment focused on equality and other humanistic values. “Hillel” makes the life of modern Jewish youth more interesting, diversified and richer, and through it – the world as a whole. The knowledge, skills, and impressions gained at Hillel help students to grow, to feel like active members of the Jewish community, city, country, and the world.

FEATURED PROJECT

Good Deeds Day 2021 in Moscow had 14 volunteer projects, more than 200 volunteers, more than 400 beneficiaries, and more than 20 partners and charity funds. The participants of the GDD did not forget about their four-legged friends. The volunteers of “Hillel” and “Joint” went to the shelter for dogs in Solntsevo and to the shelter “Iskra”. The children helped to clean the territory and take a walk with the animals and brought food and medicines as gifts. With a similar mission, the volunteers visited the Murkosha cat shelter. Together with the So-Unity Foundation, GDD participants visited deafblind people: they helped to put the territory of the resource center in order and talked with the wards of the foundation. As part of collaborating campaign with the fund “Life-route”, the volunteers supported people with developmental disabilities – they walked in the park together, giving them their attention and care.
