Celebrating Shabbat and holidays at MSU Hillel offers a unique opportunity to bring together many members of the community. Each Shabbat, students join together for Reform, Conservative and Orthodox Services and a delicious Shabbat meal. Hillel has celebrations for all holidays during the year, fostering a warm community atmosphere.

Shabbat

Every week, 150 or more students join together at the Hillel for student-led Shabbat services followed by a FREE dinner. Some students choose to come to services and meals; others may attend only services or only to join their friends for a Shabbat meal.

To make a reservation for our FREE Friday night dinner, please email operations@msuhillel.org.
