HLS Alliance for Israel's Bar Night is a chance to take a break from the intensity of the semester and just be together. It’s a relaxed, low-key evening to step away from the reading and deadlines, catch up with friends, meet new people, and enjoy being in community outside the classroom.
Thursday nights are for pre-Shabbat learning, lively discussion, and connecting with friends before Shabbat begins.
