The active Hillel student group is at the heart of campus life, hosting regular Shabbat dinners and other programming at our dedicated Hillel House which houses a Kosher kitchen.
We celebrate the holidays with vibrant prayer services and events like SukkahFest. There are many ways to engage in meaningful learning through cohort learning experiences and the Jewish Lecture Series which brings thought-provoking discussions to campus, enriching the academic and cultural experience for everyone. Join us in creating a supportive and enriching environment for Jewish students at Ursinus!
