Parents

Dear GA Tech Parents,
Thanks for visiting this page. It means you care about partnering with Hillel to insure our vibrant Jewish future - and that you are interested in finding ways you can make a meaningful impact on the lives of hundreds of Jewish students.

Each fall, your student embarks on a significant journey as a college student at GA Tech. After 18 years of living at home with family and friends, the transition to campus can be overwhelming - for you and for your student.

That's why Hillel is here. Hillel at GA Tech connects Jewish students with each other to build lasting Jewish friendships and Jewish memories. Hillel depends on parents to sustain and nourish this integral part of the lives of the more than 600 Jewish undergraduate students at GA Tech, and we invite parents to get involved.

What is your student's involvement in Jewish life worth? For example, the cost of one Shabbat dinner alone is $15 per person, the cost of supporting one Bagel Break is $180, materials for building a Sukkah on campus and holding Sukkot activities costs $360, and bringing a thought-provoking speaker to campus can be $500 or more. What is the value of her experience beyond the actual costs of a program? How many friends did he make through Hillel activities? How many positive Jewish memories were built?

We believe your child’s experience at Hillel is worth a lot.
