To be eligible to serve on Student Council, a student must attain and uphold exemplary academic and behavioral standards. Each position has one boy and one girl, allowing for an executive of 13 members representing both genders equally.

Student Council is modeled on our democratic and representative form of government and is intended to promote leadership skills. Members are encouraged to take initiative and begin the formative process of leading our student body in the weeks leading up to the school year.

The Student Council looks to be a representative body for the Student population, while also serving the greater Hillel and Los Angeles community. StuCo has organized fundraisers for the largest orphanage in the entire world, while also jump starting Hillel's first Tomchei Shabbat route. Among the activities Student Council has planned are: middle school shabbaton, a Chanukah field trip for the student body, a festive breakfast every Rosh Chodesh for the students of the middle school, Lag B'omer trips and the like. Along with all the programs the Students Council provides, the Student Council also takes the responsibility to educate its student population. Immediately after the natural disaster in Haiti occurred, the Student Council jumped at the opportunity to educate their peers about the disaster itself, the reaction from both Israel and the U.S, and most importantly what we could do and how we can react. They also spearheaded a fundraising campaign to assist the victims.

The Student Council is dedicated to the greater Hillel Family. They prepare, organize and produce affordable and attractive Family Nights to help families enjoy each others company at unique and entertaining venues. One of the most popular Hillel Family Nights takes place at the Staples Center for Los Angeles Clippers games when tickets are available. Tickets are sold for affordable family rates and over 200 people attend these events.

Being a member of Student Council is both an honor and a challenge. Members plan and organize so many different activities, programs, and assemblies over the course of the year. Our members exemplify and model academic and behavioral excellence, and are appreciated by their peers. Student Council, and other student life activities are Directed by Rabbi Aharon Assaraf, and he works closely with the council, and the student body at Hillel.
