A Great Place to be Jewish

The University of Kansas has emerged as a destination school for Jewish students from all
around the country. Our strong Jewish community provides numerous opportunities to connect to
Jewish life both on and off-campus. At the heart of it all is KU Hillel, widely regarded as one most innovative and impactful Hillels in the entire country.
