High Holidays
Let us be your home away from home during the holidays!

High Holidays 2023
Shana Tova from Cornell Hillel! Rosh Hashanah this year starts the night of Friday, September 15 and ends the night of Sunday, September 17.
Hillel is excited for the return of our annual Rosh Hashanah Banquet, which will be free for all students this year! At the Rosh Hashanah Feast, hundreds of students will gather to celebrate the New Year together as a Jewish community on Friday, September 15 in Trillium dining hall. All are welcome to join. RSVP strongly encouraged.
We also have a full schedule of Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur Services. Attend one of the three service options, Progressive, Conservative, and Orthodox. You can learn about the holidays with a 101 class taught by our Executive Director, Rabbi Ari, or host your friends for a holiday meal with Hillel Across Cornell. The possibilities to celebrate are endless - find a way that’s meaningful to you. If you have questions about Hillel Across Cornell and hosting your own holiday meal or break-fast, email Andy Anderson.
