Hillel Student Board at UC Davis
The Hillel Student Board serves as a bridge between students, Hillel staff, and the Board of Directors. Working alongside Hillel staff, interns, student leaders, and affiliated campus organizations, the board helps ensure that Hillel remains a welcoming, inclusive, and engaging center for Jewish life at UC Davis and Sacramento State.

Through their leadership and collaboration, they help foster a vibrant Jewish community that will continue to thrive for generations to come.

One of our signature events is “Not Shabbat,” which is an innovative program so commuter students can enjoy a Shabbat experience on a Thursday night. Our group is based in the Jewish Life and Resource Center (JLRC) in Modoc Hall.
