Supporting Hillel CASE, the International Jewish Youth Organization

Hillel CASE is an international Jewish organization that unites student centers in Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Odesa, Lviv, Simferopol, Sevastopol, Chisinau, Minsk, Tbilisi, and Baku.

The primary mission of Hillel CASE is to foster a new generation of educated and enlightened Jews who take pride in their heritage. The organization aims to involve Jewish youth in reviving community life, develop modern Jewish leadership, facilitate the study of Jewish history, religion, traditions, and culture, strengthen Jewish identity among young people, and implement programs supporting the spiritual development of youth in education and culture.

The Euro-Asian Jewish Congress actively supports the organization's activities and contributes to the implementation of the following projects:

HAP (Hillel Art Project) is an international four-day seminar consisting of lectures, master classes, and creative workshops. The project engages active Jewish youth from Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Georgia, and Azerbaijan. During the seminar, participants exchange creative ideas, acquire Jewish knowledge, and further develop their existing skills.

Intellectual Wars is an international tournament featuring popular brain games. Created in Odesa in 2007, Hillel's Intellectual Wars represents a unique educational initiative. The international tournament brings together teams from Hillel centers within the CASE region, Jewish organizations in Odesa, and various other cities and countries.

Summer Youth Forum is a project designed to integrate students into the Jewish world and community. Participants gain firsthand experience of Jewish communal life and deepen their understanding of Jewish traditions and values. The Summer Youth Forum is held during the last week of August, welcoming 130 participants from across the entire CASE region.
