Hillel at Emory works hard to meet the religious needs of Jewish students during the High Holidays and to make the holidays engaging and meaningful for students away from home.
Sukkot
Every year Hillel builds a Sukkah in the middle of campus. Through the Book-a-Sukkah program, student clubs can reserve the Hillel Sukkah for group meetings, events, or just for group lunch. The Sukkah serves as a central location for Jewish life during the holiday.
Chanukkah
Hillel partners with the Chabad at Emory for a public lighting of the Menorah. Since the holiday generally falls around finals, the menorah lives outside the library so students can enjoy the lighting as a study break.
Purim
On the weekend of Purim, the Greek Hillel Council throws a party for Emory students, complete with Megillah readings, costumes, and dancing.
