Hillel’s appropriately named GAP Program, provides programs and opportunities for Toronto’s Jewish graduate students and young adults. Hillel is finding that many young adults returning from an undergraduate experience, who were previously only marginally involved in the organised Jewish community, are now actively seeking social, cultural, and educational opportunities. Hillel is successfully addressing the “GAP” that young people have identified by implementing fun, engaging, and interesting programs.
