General Information
Minsk Jewish Student organization Beit Hillel was founded in 1996. At first
it numbered just 20 young people who came from families where their parents lost
Jewish identity during the communist times. Young and Jewish they began to
celebrate Shabbats and study century long traditions and culture of the People.
Today Minsk Beit Hillel numbers 140 students who actively
participate in Jewish educational programs, study Hebrew and English and revive
Jewish lifestyle in Minsk. Jewish youth works with Hesed clients helping the community elderly feel that they are needed and
appreciated.
13 married Jewish couples got acquainted in Minsk Hillel.
Goals:

the life of the organization and Jewish community
- to assist students in their leadership skills
development
- to create various student programs that would meet the
students’ interests and needs
- to hold educational programs which would introduce young Jews to Jewish
culture, history and traditions.
