A Seder… with a sweet twist
READ MORE
KSU students gathered for a multi-faith Chocolate Seder that blended tradition with creativity. Using chocolate to reimagine ritual elements, students explored the meaning behind the Seder while drawing connections to how other faiths mark sacred moments. For many non-Jewish students, it was a first introduction to Passover. For Jewish students, it opened up new ways of thinking about prayer, food, and tradition across cultures.
This is what Hillel does best; meeting students where they are and creating experiences that are both accessible and meaningful.
Taco ’bout showing up to Hillel UGA
At UGA, Jewish students gathered at Hillel for a Taco Tuesday hosted by the Greek Life Committee. It was simple: good food, familiar faces, and space to reconnect.
One student shared, “I loved catching up with my friend who I hadn’t seen like all semester, and the tacos were so good, too!”Moments like these are when students find their people, build friendships, and turn Hillel into a place that feels like home
Shared Legacies and real conversations at Emory Hillel
40 students—20 Jewish and 20 Black—came together over dinner to reflect on the film Shared Legacies. The conversation focused on the deep historical connections between these communities and what partnership can look like today. The evening wasn’t just about learning history. It was about building relationships and understanding how students can show up for one another in meaningful ways right now. Chloe Glazer ('27) described the evening as "so powerful. It showed me that there are such opportunities to partner together (with the Black community) on so many causes.”
