Welcome to the VCU Hillel Webpage

At Virginia Commonwealth University, Jewish students are a welcomed part of the Rams community. Out of approximately 23,000 undergraduate and graduate students, approximately 3% are Jewish. However, please note there are no specific tracking mechanisms currently in place for religious preference.

VCU Hillel maintains a Jewish presence on the VCU campus as it provides social, educational, religious, and cultural opportunities to Jewish students. VCU is proud of the VCU Center for Judaic Studies. It encourages understanding of the Judaic component of religious and philosophical thought, history and the arts in the Western civilization.
