Other Kosher Dining Options at Harvard for Undergrads
Harvard Hillel is not your only option for kosher food at Harvard. Every Harvard dining hall has a Kosher Corner which, upon request, includes frozen meals, cold cuts, cheeses, tuna fish, etc., as well as a kosher microwave. Much of the food in the dining halls is certified kosher, including many breakfast cereals, an extensive salad bar, many breads, fresh fruit, and beverages. Hillel also provides bag lunches for pickup (you must order a lunch with a paper form at dinner at Hillel the day before.)
Harvard Graduate Students
Harvard Hillel hosts Graduate Student Shabbat Dinners monthly during the academic year, free of charge for all registered Harvard graduate students. Contact Jacklyn Liberman, Director of Student Life, for more information.
Our special "Cheap Eats for Grads" dining rates are available each Wednesday and Saturday during the academic year. Cheap Eats rates are: $5.00 for registered Harvard graduate students and $7.00 for spouses, significant others, and children of graduate students (children 3 and under are free).
