We’re excited to host the final of our three-part Shabbat Dinner & Symposium Series on Friday, April 24th. This will be the culmination of our intimate evenings that bring together conversation, community, and excellent food. Around a Shabbat table, we’re centering a big question that feels both urgent and enduring: Pessimism & Hope — How Do We Sustain Meaning? With Professor Rebecca Goldstein. The conversation will revolve around meaning, resilience, and the human need to matter in fractured times.
The dinners are open to students and faculty, and have combined the warmth of a shared meal with the curiosity of a seminar and the depth of Jewish text study. Participants from the first two have left the evening feeling part of a vibrant Jewish community that is intellectually alive and spiritually grounded.
Open to undergraduate students, grad students, and faculty. Register today to secure your spot.

Join Harvard Hillel for the next session in our newly revitalized online speaker series, From Harvard’s Campus to Community.
Our second session is April 30 at 8:00 PM ET on Zoom: Religion in America: Growth, Decline, or Transformation?
Religion in America is not simply declining; it is being reshaped. How do leaders of faith cultivate clarity, sustain integrity, and translate values into action in a time of pluralism and rapid change? And what does it mean to engage across deep difference without sacrificing conviction?
Join Rabbi Sharon Brous, senior and founding rabbi at Ikar in LA and author of national bestseller The Amen Effect, and Dr. Ari Gordon HDS ’10, Director of Muslim-Jewish Relations at AJC Global, for a conversation that moves from theory to practice. Student leader Ari Kohn ’26 will bring the campus perspective.
