A Community for Everyone
Harvard is home to hundreds of Jewish undergraduates from every type of background and interest. No matter what kind of Jewish life you’re comfortable with or looking for – whether you want kosher food, Shabbat meals, a Jewish outdoors club, travel opportunities to Israel, or help with holiday accommodations – there’s a place for you here.
From our weekly Friday night dinners to intimate gatherings in dorm rooms, from student groups to Shabbat and holidays, we offer experiences that meet you wherever you are in your Jewish journey. Check out our Calendar to see what’s happening this week.
Beyond Hillel
Jewish life at Harvard extends far beyond our building. Harvard has many proud Jewish professors who are an important part of the broader campus Jewish community. You might find yourself in intimate discussions with professors like Michael Sandel (who facilitates dialogue with our community each year), or participating in events like last year’s Latke vs. Hamantash debate featuring professors Steven Pinker and Steven Levitsky.
Students build meaningful relationships with Jewish faculty members and find opportunities for Jewish learning both in and out of the classroom.
Come Experience It Yourself
Imagine yourself coming to bagel brunch with 100 other students, or cheering together at a Red Sox game, or celebrating Jewish holidays with us throughout the year. View our photo gallery.
