Chai and 12th Mensch Members

Our 12th Mensch Club has been around for over 50 years. Members of the 12th Mensch Club are the key supporters of Jewish life at Texas A&M.  Each club member donated a minimum of $1,200 during the current fiscal year and received recognition for their generous support of The Hillel at Texas A&M.  Members of the 12th Mensch Club are updated regularly by our Executive Director, receive complimentary admission to High Holy Day services and dinners at Hillel, are invited to Hillel and donor recognition events, and receive a complimentary 1-year parking pass to park at Hillel for all Texas A&M home football games.

To become a member of the 12th Mensch Club, you can donate securely online, though our Venmo account, or mail your check to Hillel at Texas A&M, 800 George Bush Dr, College Station, TX 77840.  You can also become a member by making monthly credit card or Venmo payments.  Simply send us your contact information, including email and phone number, and we will send you a monthly payment link.

A huge thank you to all of our generous donors! We would not do any of this without our support.

Texas Hillel gratefully acknowledges the generosity of the Bar Yadin Family Foundation who partnered with Hillel International to provide matching funds for Hillel Global Giving Week 2021.  Thank you to the Bar Yadin family for their commitment to Hillels across the state of Texas.
