In hundreds of locations around the globe, Hillel professionals offer
students a world of possibilities: a variety of opportunities to grow as
individuals, as leaders, and as members of the Jewish community. In this
interconnected world, students from South America participate in Hillel
leadership training programs in the United States; Israeli students lead
Passover Seders in Ukraine; North American students rebuild homes
in Uruguay; thousands of Hillel students visit Israel every year…
the choices are endless.
Today, 80 years after its creation, Hillel is an international community
devoted to learning, personal growth, pluralism, Israel, Jewish celebration
and the perpetuation of the Jewish people. Student by student, community
by community, country by country, Hillel is forging a strong Jewish future.
In 2004, the Hillel world continued to expand. Hillel Foundations were
created in Santiago, Chile, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Beer Sheva, Israel.
Beautiful state-of-the-art facilities were constructed in nine communities.
This year, Hillel brought more students to Israel than ever before. And
students graduated from colleges and universities imbued with their Hillel
experiences to take their place as community leaders.
We are proud of the contributions that Hillel is making to the lives of Jewish
college students and to the communities in which they live. But there is so
much more that we can do. We thank the many individuals who have made
this work possible, and invite others to join us in shaping the world of
possibilities that lies ahead.

PNINA GADAY
A
At age three and a half, Pnina Gaday nearly lost her life in
Operation Moses, the arduous 1984 exodus of Ethiopian
Jews across the wilderness of Ethiopia and Sudan. When
the family’s supplies were nearly exhausted, Pnina’s
mother was forced to plead for food from a local hospital.
With the hospital’s help, the family continued on its
journey and fulfilled its dream of a new life in Israel.
Faith, hope and courage are still central to Pnina. Today, at
age 22, she is a Hillel leader at The Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, creating programs that bring communities
together and bring Jewish culture to life.
ISRAEL.
Hillel is at work at the
Hebrew University of
Jerusalem, Tel Aviv
University and Ben-Gurion
University. Hillel, working
with birthright israel,
brings more college
students to the Jewish
homeland than any
other group.
“IT’S NOT ENOUGH TO OBSERVE
SHABBAT AND KASHRUT,” SHE SAYS.
“I WANT TO STAND UP AND SHOUT THAT
I AM PROUD TO BE JEWISH. HILLEL
GIVES ME THAT CHANCE.”
Hillel has offered her a welcoming environment and has
empowered her to create meaningful programs. Her first
success was an evening of Ethiopian culture that drew 250
participants from the campus and the community. She has
gone on to create events that combine karaoke and Jewish
texts about love. She has traveled to the former Soviet
Union to help lead Passover Seders, and she is involved in
an international cooperative program to fund innovative
campus initiatives.
“I LIKE TO FEEL PART OF A COMMUNITY.
HILLEL GIVES ME THAT FEELING AND ALLOWS
ME TO SAY ‘WOW, I CAN DO SOMETHING
THAT’S IMPORTANT.’”

LEADERSHIP.
Hillel enables young
people to explore their
Jewishness however they
define it, whether it is
culturally, intellectually,
religiously or socially.
These students grow
into leaders who
contribute to their
campus and to the
broader community.
F
Fabio Messer is a pioneer. When he learned that Hillel
was planning to open a facility for young people in Rio
de Janeiro, Brazil, he rose to the challenge. Though
Rio is home to the second-largest Jewish community in
the country, with several synagogues and Jewish
primary schools, resources for young adults were
scarce. Fabio helped Hillel find a location, raise money
and develop a budget. The building opened in 2003.
“THERE ARE NOT MANY OTHER
ORGANIZATIONS IN RIO THAT FOCUS
ON THE NEEDS OF JEWISH UNIVERSITY
STUDENTS,” FABIO EXPLAINS. “HILLEL
FILLED THAT GAP.”
Fabio, who is completing his MBA in finance at IBMEC
Business School, shares his expertise with his peers as
volunteer coordinator for Hillel’s Business Club. In
addition to organizing programs with business professionals, he is developing a career center to help
students find jobs and internships. He has also worked
with the elderly and consulted with a Jewish social
service agency through the Weinberg Tzedek Hillel
program, an international initiative promoting social
justice and public service.
“IT IS WONDERFUL THAT HILLEL TRIES
TO REACH JEWISH STUDENTS IN MANY
DIFFERENT WAYS,” FABIO SAYS.
Hillel activists demonstrate leadership through
participation in the International Jewish
Student Summit in Jerusalem (clockwise from

Atlantic University President Frank Brogan;
and through Boston University Hillel's awardwinning Project Recess.

VIKI RAPOPORT
S
Serving as a pro-Israel activist on the campus of the
University of California, Los Angeles is often
challenging. But Hillel leader Viki Rapoport has
overcome challenges before. Born in Moscow, she
immigrated to Israel at age seven and to the United States
at 13. She not only surmounted cultural barriers twice, she
also gained a deep love for the Jewish state.
As co-president of Bruins for Israel for two years, she
worked to dispel myths about the Arab-Israeli conflict and
to educate a community that is often critical of Israel.
ISRAEL EDUCATION.
Hillel helps students
understand the central
role that Israel plays in
the life of the Jewish
community and helps
them defend the Jewish
state against detractors.
“UCLA IS A VERY LIBERAL CAMPUS, AND
THERE’S A TENDENCY TO SUPPORT THE
UNDERDOG. ISRAEL HAS BEEN WRONGLY
PORTRAYED AS THE OPPRESSOR. I THINK
AN ANTI-ISRAEL ATTITUDE STEMS FROM
THAT,” VIKI SAYS.
Viki’s connection to Hillel began in high school when she
accompanied her older sister to Shabbat services at UCLA
Hillel. Once enrolled, she quickly became involved with
AIPAC and Bruins for Israel, bringing speakers to campus,
circulating petitions in support of Israel and planning
events like Yom Ha’Atzma’ut (Israel Independence) week.
Her leadership was recognized this year when she
was selected to serve as a Grinspoon Israel Advocacy
Intern, one of 45 students on U.S. campuses who create
innovative pro-Israel programs.
“WHEN I LOOK BACK AT MY COLLEGE
YEARS, I KNOW HILLEL WILL BE ONE OF
MY BEST EXPERIENCES,” VIKI SAYS. “IT
MADE ME LOVE JUDAISM EVEN MORE.”

Israel education includes travel, such as
Northeastern University Hillel’s birthright israel
trip (clockwise from above) and the HillelAIPAC Advanced Advocacy Mission. Purdue
Hillel educates the campus through Israel
birthday celebrations and other programs.
JOEL BENNETT
CREATIVITY
is central to the campus
environment and it is
central to Hillel. Hillel
supports innovative
programs to express
Jewishness and to
engage students who
are on the sidelines of
Jewish campus life.
W
When Joel Bennett first came to Hillel at the University
of Wisconsin-Madison, he realized that the arts were
an effective way to share his love for Jewish identity
with fellow students.
“THIS
IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF
PROGRAMMING THAT PEOPLE ARE
GOING TO REMEMBER WHEN THEY
THINK BACK ON COLLEGE
–
A
LECTURE THAT SPOKE TO THEM IN A
CERTAIN WAY, A PLAY THAT SHOWED
THEM THE LIGHTER SIDE OF AN
ISSUE, OR A COFFEEHOUSE THAT
SHOWCASED THEIR TALENTS ,”
JOEL
SAYS.
Joel set out to organize a strong, compelling cultural
arts program for Hillel. He consolidated Hillel’s artistic
offerings into the Jewish Cultural Collective and
secured an unprecedented $100,000 grant from the
student government. The Collective now employs 12
students to steer the programs, which include
speakers, a Hillel student magazine, Israeli and Jewish
film festivals, Jewish-themed plays, musical performances and art shows.
A senior majoring in history and political science, Joel
hopes to continue learning and teaching through a
career in education.
“JUDAISM
Music is the art of choice for a Reform
movement song leader (clockwise from above),
students in the Queens College Tizmoret
a cappella group, and for a participant in
Atlanta Hillel’s Campus Superstar competition.
HAS REALLY GROWN TO BE
A PART OF ME,” HE SAYS.
“HILLEL
HAS
BEEN A BIG PART OF DEVELOPING
THAT FEELING OF COMMUNITY.”

BIANA SHILSHTUT
G
Growing up in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, the only thing Biana
Shilshtut knew about her Jewish identity was the Russian
word for “Jew” stamped on her identity card. When she
began to attend college, the world of Jewish life opened
before her through her involvement in Hillel.
“JUDAISM IS A BIG PART OF MY SOUL –
IT’S INSIDE OF ME,” BIANA SAYS.
“I NEED TO BE PART OF A JEWISH
COMMUNITY.”
COMMUNITIES.
Hillel serves Jewish students
on the world’s largest
campuses and on some of
the smallest. Whether it is
in the farflung republics
of the former Soviet Union,
in four countries of South
America, in Israel or in
North America, Hillel is
creating celebratory Jewish
communities.
Biana began to take a leadership role in Hillel
activities. Among other projects, she was responsible for
sending teams of Jewish students across the former Soviet
Union to lead Passover Seders. Upon graduation, she
undertook a new adventure when she enrolled in a master’s
degree program — at North Dakota State University
in Fargo.
When she didn’t find a Jewish community on campus, Biana
organized the first Rosh Hashana meal at the school. The
event attracted Jewish students who had never before
declared their Jewishness in public.
Thanks to Biana, there is now a Hillel at North Dakota
State. It offers Shabbat dinners, Havdalah programs,
holiday events and Seders.
“WE DON’T DO MUCH,” SHE SAYS MODESTLY,
“JUST CELEBRATE SHABBAT AND THE HOLIDAYS.
BUT WHAT WE DO IS REALLY MEANINGFUL.”
Hillel is creating thriving Jewish campus
communities in (clockwise from above)
the eastern republics of the former Soviet
Union, Brazil, and Russia.

MIKE VILARELLO
SOCIAL JUSTICE.
Tzedek is an important
part of Hillel’s work around
the globe. Hillel students
rebuild storm-ravaged
communities in South
America and help children
master their school skills
in U.S. cities. Through
Hillel, students learn about
their Jewishness as they
help others.
C
Coming to Vermont’s Middlebury College from Miami,
Mike Vilarello did not have a group of hometown
friends on campus to help ease the transition to
college life. Looking to make new friends, Mike, who
has both Jewish and Cuban heritage, checked out Hillel
and a Latin American student organization and
immediately found his place at Hillel.
“I
FELT SO WELCOME AT
HILLEL
FROM THE BEGINNING, AND AS
I
BECAME MORE INVOLVED
I
WAS
MOTIVATED TO TAKE ON LEADERSHIP
ROLES,” SAYS
MIKE,
WHO WAS
ELECTED HILLEL PRESIDENT THIS YEAR.
As Mike’s leadership skills grew, so did Middlebury
College Hillel, part of the Soref Initiative for Emerging
Campuses. He planned themed Shabbat programs that
helped boost regular attendance at Friday night
services to 50 students. He increased social justice
programming to attract new students and organized
an alternative spring break service project to
Honduras. For his outstanding leadership Mike was
appointed to the Board of Directors of Hillel: The
Foundation for Jewish Campus Life.
An economics and political science major, Mike also
serves as a senator on Middlebury’s College student
government and belongs to Kappa Delta Rho, a co-ed
social house. He credits Hillel for helping him develop
into a campus leader.
“I’LL
Students from Muhlenberg College (clockwise
from the left), Johns Hopkins University and
Hillel Rio, pursue social justice.
BE ABLE TO USE THESE SKILLS
FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE,” HE SAYS.

SUPPORT. The Hillel enterprise is
indebted to the lay leaders and
philanthropists whose resources,
expertise, and passion strengthen
Hillel’s impact around the world.
These invaluable partnerships have
made it possible for Hillel to address
anti-Israel and anti-Semitic activity
on campus, as well as to offer support, comfort, and guidance to a
record number of students.
Hillel’s benefactors understand
the importance of providing Jewish
college students with positive,
celebratory forms of Jewish
expression. Holiday celebrations,
Israel trips, cultural events, community service experiences, educational programs, and leadership
development
conferences
are
engaging and empowering a new
generation of Jewish leaders.
Under Edith Everett’s stewardship
as Development Chair, participation
in Hillel’s Renaissance Society grew
dramatically and fundraising efforts
expanded worldwide. Nine beautiful
new Hillel buildings opened in the
past year. These vibrant centers of
Jewish campus life provide homes to
thousands of students at Brooklyn
College, Brown University, Hillel
Chile, Johns Hopkins University,
Hillel Rio de Janeiro, Syracuse
University,
University
of
Pennsylvania, University of Toronto,
and University of Washington. Hillel
extends its profound appreciation to
all the donors and stakeholders
whose hard work brought the dream
of new homes on these campuses to
fruition.
Hillel is grateful for the ongoing
support of the United Jewish
Communities, the 155 Jewish
Federations across North America, a
significant number of whom also
provide national and international
support in addition to their local
programs. Hillel is proud to be a
beneficiary of federation campaigns
and encourages university students,
lay leaders and campus professionals
to support the global humanitarian
efforts of the Jewish people.
Finally, this year more than 600
Hillel friends and supporters attended Hillel’s Gala in March to celebrate the exemplary leadership of
Edith and her beloved husband,
Henry, of blessed memory. The
Jewish people will reap the benefits
of the Everetts’ dedication to Hillel
and to Jewish college students for
years and years to come.
