HIGH holidays AT MSU HILLEL
Celebrate the high holidays, Spartan style! Join us for services, meals and opportunities to celebrate with your Jewish community on campus. Whether you attend every year or are looking to connect for the first time, we'd love to have you join us. All services and meals are free of charge to MSU students, $25 for parents, family, and/or community members.
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 the Nancy and Jim Grosfeld Jewish Life Fund and the Alfred and Bernice Deutsch Yom Kippur Holiday Endowment for leadership support of High Holiday celebrations.
