About this Campaign
Shabbat is a highlight at Hillel each week. Current students, recent alumni, and young adults from the community gather at Hillel for to celebrate their Jewish connection and and enjoy a meal free of charge. We endeavor to keep all of Hillel’s programs free so as to alleviate any financial barriers to engaging with Jewish life and community.
The students always appreciate a home cooked Shabbat meal and attendance at a typical Shabbat dinner is between 30-40 students. Attendance can be much higher (50-80 students) for certain holiday celebrations, theme Shabbat dinners, and at the beginning or end of a semester.
Our Shabbat cooks provide:
3-4 challahs
Main course
Salad or soup
Side dishes
Dessert
Shabbat Dinner Sponsorship
Another way that you can provide the gift of a Shabbat meal is to sponsor a meal. A sponsorship in any amount is always appreciated. A typical Shabbat meal can cost between $300-$500. On special occasions (Rosh Hashanah, Chanukah, Passover, Graduation Shabbat) we like to treat the students to a catered meal which can cost between $1,000 and $1,500.
