HJSU is Syracuse Hillel’s student leadership tasked with meeting Jewish students’ needs through vibrant programming, a culture of welcoming and wellness, and empowerment through education. Programs cover a variety of topics including Jewish holidays, Israel, interfaith and multicultural pluralism, and more.
HJSU hosts events like High Holiday services and dinner at Hillel, Passover Seder in the JMA Dome, and Shabbat services and meals. Shabbat services every Friday evening (5:30 p.m.) and delicious kosher Shabbat dinners (6:30 p.m.) are held at the Winnick Hillel Center for Jewish Life (located at 102 Walnut Place). Shabbat with the Hillel community is a wonderful way to relax and recharge with old and new friends at the end of the week!
We also have a vibrant culture of Jewish learning, especially during Fellowship night at Hillel where students can apply at the start of the semester for cohort (conversation-based) learning through the Jewish Learning Fellowships (first year and Wellness), Tzedek Learning Fellowship, Israel Learning Fellowship, Jewish-Muslim Dialogue Fellowship, Mensch Group and more!
On the first Wednesday of every month, we hold Water St. Wednesday (bagels, cream cheese, lox and shmoozing) from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. at Hillel as well as lots of student-led programs and collaborations throughout the year.
Any member of the Hillel staff and or 50+ student leaders would love to take you out to coffee and find more about your Jewish journey and interests to better connect you on campus and enrich your life, rooted in Jewish tradition, identity and values, and in relationship across lines of difference for the common good.
