Religious Observance Policy
All students can miss class for religious observances and can make up examinations, study or work missed per the religious observances policy. Students must notify their instructors of their observances through MySlice. We also recommend emailing your professors directly well in advance of the holidays, even if it’s just a chance you’ll observe the chagim, to avoid any negative consequences for missing class or making up work due to High Holy Day observances.

About

Hillel inspires and enriches the lives of Jewish students at Syracuse University so that they may enrich the Jewish people and the world.

Hillel makes Judaism and Jewish tradition relevant to the lives of college students through peer-to-peer engagement, student leadership development, dynamic Shabbat and holiday experiences, vibrant social and Israel programming, justice initiatives, and meaningful Jewish learning.  With different entry points into Jewish life on campus, Hillel helps you personalize a Jewish experience at Syracuse that is right for you and connects you to the large vibrant Jewish community on campus.  From celebrating Passover at Hillel’s Seder in the Carrier Dome, to hiking through a waterfall on Birthright Israel, to taking a leadership role through one of the many internships Hillel offers, to making new friends at Shabbat dinner at the Winnick Hillel Center — Hillel is here for you as your Jewish home away from home!

Hillel hosts Shabbat services (5:30 PM) and delicious kosher Shabbat dinners (6:30 PM) every Friday throughout the academic year 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! Hillel also hosts services, meals, and programming for Jewish holidays.
