HIGH holidays AT MSU HILLEL
Celebrate the high holidays, Spartan style! We are excited to offer meals and services for both Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Both services and meals are free of charge to MSU students. Meals are $25 for parents, family, and/or community members. Please RSVP using the links below to ensure enough food and seating.
Need to speak with a professor about missing class or exams for the High Holidays? Please feel free to use this attached letter (click here to download) if any professors have questions regarding any class that needs to be missed due to the observance of Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur. Printed copies are also available at Hillel. You can also learn more about the updated MSU religious observance policy here.
We gratefully acknowledge James and Nancy Grosfeld, the Irving and Ethel Palman Foundation, and the Alfred and Bernice Deutsch Yom Kippur Holiday Endowment for leadership support of High Holiday celebrations. For more information, contact Robyn Hughey.
