We are so proud of Ritual Chair Jenna Heisman and Student President Rachel Kamel, with the assistance and consultation of TU Hillel Governance Chair & Secretary Dr. Sheryl Cooper, for putting together an incredible interview series for Jewish Disabilities Awareness and Inclusion Month (JDAIM).
We hope these conversations give insight into steps the Jewish community can take to make our spaces more accessible for everyone. We hope you watch and maybe learn a thing or two about inclusion!
At the Towson University Hillel, our goal is to provide a vibrant Jewish Community and an infrastructure that shapes the next generation of Jewish leaders. Through a variety of campus and community based programs, Hillel engages students in ways they feel most comfortable expressing their Judaism, while embarking on their college journey at Towson University. Our mission is to enrich the lives of Jewish students so that they may enrich the Jewish people and the world.
Towson Hillel, an agency of The Associated: Jewish Federation of Baltimore, is able to respond in times of crisis thanks to the funding and financial support it receives from The Associated’s Annual Campaign. Now, more than ever, we need your support to continue meeting the growing needs in our community. Please say, “Hineini: Here I am,” by choosing to support those in need through The Associated. Make a donation, make a difference, associated.org/give.
We are dedicated to offering a wide range of opportunities to help Towson University students continue their Jewish journey into adulthood.
Parents can help strengthen their child’s Jewish pride and connection. Help contribute by joining Parents Tiger Club and our Leadership Circle.

As a member of the Baltimore Jewish Community we strive to find internship, mentorship and work opportunities for our students.
Twice monthly, we will provide a takeaway Shabbat meal. RSVP in advance. Meals will be delivered at the Towson Hillel house and Shabbat services will be followed via zoom. Check our calendar for zoom links to participate.
For the time being, the Hillel lounge on campus is closed. All meetings and social distanced outdoor events will take place at Hillel House.
This year, Towson University Hillel and the rest of the world experienced a time like no other. Our strongest year on campus was cut short with our transition to virtual programming on March 11th, two days before Spring break, creating a metamorphosis of face to face programs, student engagements and transformative experiences into a 21st century virtual reality.
