The Brooklyn College Hillel seeks to strengthen Jewish identity among the college's Jewish students. This is done through a variety of programs and Jewish learning opportunities that are offered to students. Programs aim to develop students' commitment to Israel, to increase understanding both between Jewish groups and between Jews and others and to foster a climate of tolerance through a pluralistic outlook. The Hillel offers Jewish learning opportunities as well as cultural, recreational and religious experiences. Additionally, the BC Hillel seeks to cultivate students' participation in social action and to give them the tools to make a difference in the world subsequent to their college experience.
