Central Florida Hillel kicked off its 20th anniversary with a tree planting on Sunday, July 11. The year 2021 marks the 20th year that Central Florida Hillel has been recognized as a Jewish organization by the Greater Orlando Jewish Federation.

Central Florida Hillel would not be where it is today without the support of the Orlando Jewish community. UCF Hillel has supported thousands of Jewish knights as well as students from Stetson University, Rollins College, Valencia Community College, Seminole State University and Full Sail University on their Jewish journeys over the past 20 years. Not only are we a place for students to feel comfortable, we act as a catalyst for students to become the next generation of leaders. We combat anti-semitism on campus and provide Israel education through programs and Birthright sponsored trips as well as bringing students to the AIPAC conference.

The tree planting was for alumni, present and past board members, as well as the Orlando community to feel proud of how far CF Hillel has come. In the Jewish religion, a tree signifies planting the way for the future and laying down roots in the community. The tree is generously donated by Landscape Systems Inc. and the White family.
