Review for The Hillel JUC of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

As a parent of a freshman at the University of Pittsburgh, my husband and I have been very happy with the support Hillel offers our son. They have a welcoming Shabbat dinner on Friday nights. This year he is participating in their Host Family program. He preferred celebrating the High Holidays with a family instead of with a group of students and they matched him with a warm family who have subsequently invited him to Shabbat dinner in their home. We are so happy that our son has an "instant community" his first time living away from home.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

the past weekend when I attended Parent or Homecoming weekend at the University of Pittsburgh.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

increase funding

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

warm, friendly, inclusive

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

outgoing and friendly

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

provide free Shabbat dinners and attract even more Jewish students

Ways to make it better...

it was very positive and I have no criticisms at this point

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

funding

One thing I'd also say is that...

the Hillel is a beautiful space and the staff and volunteers are warm and inclusive,
