Adam Lehman has been appointed president and CEO of Hillel International. Lehman had been serving as interim chief executive officer when he was tapped for the top position. Fork four years prior, he was chief operating officer.

In his new role, Lehman said he will build on Hillel’s success in fostering Jewish life on 550 campuses across 18 countries. “We will work to engage and inspire even more Jewish students on campus, and further strengthen Hillel’s role as a platform for Jewish values, social justice, volunteerism, and relationship building that serve the broader campus community and world. At the same time, we will work with college administrators and other partners to combat anti-Semitism and ensure a safe campus climate in which Jewish students can feel comfortable expressing and deepening their Jewish identities.”
