There’s always something fun and Jewish happening at Harvard! You’ll find your next Shabbat dinner, picnic on the river, or dose of Jewish wisdom right here.
Start your day with Orthodox weekday morning services. Join us for Shacharis each weekday morning to connect with tradition, community, and prayer before diving into your day. All are welcome, whether you’re looking for a daily minyan or just want to pop in.
Join us for dinner Saturday through Thursday at Harvard Hillel! Undergraduate students on the meal plan can swipe in; graduate students and community members are welcome to purchase meals.

In the week before Passover, a nine-foot interpretive seder plate will stand in the most public-facing space on campus, inviting the entire Harvard community into conversation about Jewish life, identity and culture.
Created by local Jewish artist Michael Mittelman in partnership with Harvard Hillel, The People’s Plate draws on stories from students, faculty and alumni across the Harvard Jewish community. Each element of the sculpture represents a different expression of Jewish identity, transforming one of Judaism’s most recognizable symbols into a work of public art that is both deeply personal and open to all.
Come see it. Come talk about it. Come be part of it.
