Hillel at SMU

Hillel at SMU Hillel at SMU is your Jewish home away from home. Hillel at SMU is the Jewish home away from home for our SMU campus community.

We value meaningful relationships, joyful learning, the celebration of Jewish life and the development of leaders who are world changers. During the fall and spring semesters, we host many Shabbat dinners, Bagel Mondays, social events, holiday celebrations, Jewish learning and discussions on a wide variety of topics. Under the leadership of our Director, Rabbi Heidi Coretz, our student advisory bo

ard and our board of directors, Hillel at SMU is a thriving organization. Hillel at SMU also serves as a bridge between the local Jewish community and the college students. Along with the support of The Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas, and our local synagogues, we are active partners in the Dallas Jewish community. Our students are invited to attend many community events as well as holiday and Shabbat worship services at local temples, shuls, and synagogues. All of our events are warm and welcoming. We have wonderful members who care about one another and socialize outside of Hillel programming. This is a place to find and keep Jewish friends for a lifetime. Please join us for an upcoming event to find out more about why you need to make Hillel at SMU an important part of your life.

We are so grateful for your gifts to support our Jewish Mustangs!

https://give.hillel.org/hillelatsmu26 Just two nights ago, we gathered to celebrate something extraordinary — the grand opening of Hillel Home. With President Hartzell, Provost Mersey, donors, parents, grandparents, and our student leaders filling the building with energy and pride, it was a night of deep joy and gratitude. We felt the power of what this community has built together.
And now, in the very next breath, Hillel Home is already doing exactly what it was created to do. This week, our students are studying late into the night for finals. They are stopping by for healthy meals and snacks, taking breaks with art supplies and fidgets, leaning on staff for encouragement, and finding comfort in a space where they feel seen, supported, and connected. Hillel Home is not simply a building, it is care in action.
We still need your help to get to our goal of $100,000.
Every dollar raised directly impacts the lives of our 600 Jewish Mustangs. Your generosity makes it possible for students to deepen their Jewish identity, build lifelong friendships, celebrate Jewish life proudly, and know they belong here on the Hilltop — especially during a time when that sense of belonging matters more than ever.
Thanks to our generous matching donors, every gift made today will still be doubled.
If Hillel has touched your life, your child’s life, your grandchild’s life, or if you simply believe Jewish students deserve a vibrant, joyful community, please make your gift here today. https://give.hillel.org/hillelatsmu26 Thank you!

Israel Independence Day Celebration 🎉

Join us on April 26th, 2026, from 12:30–4:00 PM as our community comes together to celebrate Yom Ha'atzmaut, marking 78 years of Israel's independence.

And we're very excited to share that the reigning MISS ISRAEL, the wonderful Melanie Shiraz, will be joining us for this special celebration, adding even more energy and pride to an already meaningful day.

We invite everyone to gather to show solidarity, celebrate Israeli culture, and reflect on all there is to be proud of, especially our community and connection.

Many Thanks to Stephanie & Dan Prescott & Family for their generous support! 💙
