University of Delaware Hillel

KOACH provides UD students the opportunity to maintain and develop connections to Conservative Judaism through a variety of activities, including social, religious, educational, cultural and social action programs.

We seek to create a passionate Jew who is committed to the future of the Jewish people and the improvement of the world.
