Rabbi Hanan Sills, 84, of Eugene died February 3, 2020.

Rabbi Hanan Clyde Sills (z”l). Rabbi Sills was the founding rabbi of Oregon Hillel. He, along with an amazing group of dedicated and passionate community members, came together in the late 1980s to create the foundation of Oregon Hillel, initially only serving the University of Oregon (which has now extended north to Oregon State University). He also founded Ad-Olam Synagogue Without Walls as an out-reach and In-reach program to Jews and non-Jews alike who want to connect with and learn about Jewish spirit and traditions.
