Shiur and Seudah Shlishit with Ezra

Spend Shabbat afternoon learning together over Seudah Shlishit with Ezra Klausner, our Orthodox Rabbinic Intern.

Reflective Studio with David

What can making help us discover about ourselves—and about one another?

Join Reform Rabbinic Advisor Rabbi David Mahfouda for a creative exploration of bravery, authenticity, and connection. Together, we’ll use explicitly Jewish frames—including beginning, repair, freedom, rest, praise, and listening—to explore how creative practice can help us move through the world with greater intention and openness.

No artistic experience necessary. Just come ready to make, explore, and see what emerges.

Steak Break

Take a break from the academic grind for a great meal and even better conversation. Enjoy a premium kosher steak dinner cooked by Rabbi Yoni Ganger while exploring big questions about meaning, ethics, relationships, personal growth, and what makes for a life well lived. Good food, thoughtful conversation, and a chance to pause, reflect, and connect with other students.

Mishmar

Thursday nights are for pre-Shabbat learning, lively conversation, and connecting with friends. Drop in for a short teaching from a student or rabbi, dive into a Jewish text or question, and ease into Shabbat together.

Oyntology

Over breakfast, we’ll bring questions from our lives (interpersonal, spiritual, or intellectual) and think through them using Jewish and non-Jewish texts that offer multiple ways of considering what’s at stake.

Bagel Brunch

Start your week with Bagel Brunch at Harvard Hillel. We’ve got fresh bagels, schmear, and lox- plus a space to catch up with friends or meet new ones. Everyone’s welcome to stop by for good food and good company. Hope to see you there!
