In this area, there are many options linked to the Jewish community for national and international students to carry out diverse activities, meetings, courses, group tours, Shabbat diners, holiday celebrations, trips, or simply meet and exchange experiences.

 Argentine Hillel venues are multipurpose centers for youths to find their own way of participating in the community, according to their schedules and interests, and developing their professional and recreational vocation and their Jewish identity. The list of courses offered changes every quarter and, at least once a month; you will receive an invitation to different types of social events. Each venue features computers with Internet connectivity, Wi-FI, free kosher snacks, reading rooms, and TV with DVD.  Hillel in the city of Córdoba is very close to the University area, in one of the best neighborhoods in the city. It is ideal for recreational activities between classes and as a meeting point for friends.

In Hillel Belgrano, there is also a pool table and, on summer Sundays, you can play volleyball. Hillel Centro is located in the very heart of Once, only a few meters away from the main Universities of the city and, like Hillel Córdoba, it is ideal to enjoy recreational activities between classes, getting some rest, reading or using the computers.
