The Hillel Society serves Jewish students and faculty by providing a variety of religious, cultural and social events. Programs include local and national speakers, musical groups, brunches, holiday celebrations and weekly Shabbat dinners. Students are invited to participate in the High Holiday Services held at the local Reform Temple and Conservative Synagogue, with transportation arranged by Hillel members.

The Hillel House at 524 Clinton Terrace serves as a meeting place for the group and is used for Shabbat and holiday celebrations. Students may arrange to use the house’s facilities for the observance of kashrut, and are encouraged just to stop by and say hello.

We hope you will take advantage of these opportunities, and we warmly invite you to become a part of the Hillel experience at Lafayette.
