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.
We create extraordinary opportunities and outcomes for our students, our community and our region.
This was a year of new beginnings, in which we have laid the foundation which will support our Hillel in the years to come. Our first full year without Covid restrictions since 2018-2019, Towson University Hillel started the year with three brand new staff members (Rabbi Alex Salzberg, Jamie Aaron, and Lexi Dockman) and a new space that was full of potential (TU Hillel @TheCommons). There was a lot of learning to be done, but our students and community stakeholders supported us as we continued beloved traditions and developed new ones for this new era.
Our incredible student leaders took ownership of our Hillel program and community. They made sure that beloved traditions continued and led the transition into this new era of our community.
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.

With just weeks until the start of the 2023-2024 academic year, and just over one month until Rosh Hashanah 5784 it’s the perfect time to order your Towson University Hillel Rosh Hashanah Package(s)
These packages are a great way to share the love with student(s), friends, family, and neighbors, all while supporting TU Hillel!
Support older adults in need in our community through TU Hillel’s partnership with Jewish Community Services (JCS) by purchasing a Rosh Hashanah Package!
Packages gifted to local adult clients of JCS will bring great joy and sweetness to them during the holiday; as many of them are isolated and without family nearby.
