Tzedek Means Justice

Weinberg Tzedek Hillel, an international public service effort sponsored by Hillel: The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life, is dedicated to transforming life on campus and in the community.

Framed by the Jewish imperatives of tzedakah (righteousness), gemilut chasadim (acts of loving-kindness), and tikkun olam (repair of the world), Tzedek programs engage and empowers students in meaningful public service and encourages creative thinking when addressing social justice issues. In the process of bringing about meaningful social change, participants grow intellectually and spiritually.

Hillel at UCLA is one of 30 Tzedek Hillel Campuses. As a part of this initiative, Hillel at UCLA offers a number of programs and alternative break trips that focus on social justice and student activism.
