About
Our Hillel has been going strong for a long time and continues to grow. We do things a little differently here because of the small nature of the New College campus (there are only 750 students at our school). Our emphasis on student empowerment allows our Hillel to really be “by us and for us.” It’s extremely easy to get involved at whatever level you choose; whether it be attending our weekly Shabbat dinners or arranging for a speaker you want to bring to campus. Our mission is to help foster Jewish life at New College, which has included programs such as: organized trips to a variety of local synagogues, special holiday meals, weekly Shabbat dinners, Havdalahs, guest speakers, a book club, Torah study, bagel brunches, classes, as well as social justice trips. We are a pluralistic group and as such we really want it to be about you; we want you to share your traditions, opinions and most of all… to have fun. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to get in contact with us; we’d love to hear from you!
