Hillel
Hillel's mission is to enrich the lives of Jewish undergraduate and graduate students on the RIT campus so that they may enrich the Jewish people and the world. Hillel is dedicated to creating a pluralistic, welcoming and inclusive environment for Jewish college students, where they are encouraged to grow intellectually, spiritually and socially. Hillel helps students find a balance in being distinctively Jewish and universally human by encouraging them to pursue tzedek (social justice), tikkun olam (repairing the world) and Jewish learning; to support Israel and global Jewish peoplehood. Hillel is committed to excellence, innovation, accountability and results.

Shabbat, Holidays, Seders, Etc., and Etc.
Shabbat services are held Friday evenings. Services begin at 6:00pm followed by a wonderful free Shabbat Dinner.

In addition to Shabbat, Hillel offers a wide range of social-cultural events for Jewish students at RIT, and the RIT campus community. Everything from Tzedek Hillel to celebration and observance of Jewish Holidays to our educational programs, Hillel is an active program, and an energetic community here on the RIT campus.
