### About Hillels of the Florida Suncoast

Hillels of the Florida Suncoast creates meaningful opportunities for students to connect to Jewish life through community, leadership, and tradition. We empower students to take ownership of their Jewish identity and build vibrant Jewish communities on campus.

Hillel at the University of Tampa is a central hub for Jewish life, offering students a space to celebrate, explore, and define their Jewish experience in their own way.

### About Hillel International

In 1923, Rabbi Benjamin Frankel started Hillel with humble means, a noble mission and a breathtaking vision: to convey Jewish civilization to a new generation. Today, Hillel International continues to enrich the lives of Jewish students and is the largest Jewish campus organization in the world at nearly 1,000 colleges and universities across North America and around the world. As Hillel evolves as an organization, the mission remains steadfast: to create lasting connections with every Jewish student that foster an enduring commitment to Jewish life, learning, and Israel and train them to become the next Jewish leaders.

Hillel is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to creating an accepting and inclusive environment for all.

**Live in Hillel’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
