"And the LORD God called to the man and said to him, 'Ayeka?" (Where are you?)" Bereishit (Genesis) 3:9
This year for the High Holidays, GW Hillel is highlighting our theme of "Where You Are." This theme invites us to reflect on place and presence in three core ways: where you are physically, where you are on campus, and where you are on your Jewish journey.
​
The High Holidays are a time for noticing our surroundings and making meaning where we stand. As we come together, we hope to support you in building a Jewish identity that is authentic, evolving, and uniquely yours.
​
We hope you will join us in starting the semester, and that our theme of "Where You Are" helps you feel rooted — in place, in purpose, and in community.
​
GW Hillel will offer combined services Erev Rosh Hashanah and several incredible options for services during the day of Rosh Hashanah, Reform or Conservative. We will also host services on Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur.
Attendance is free for undergraduate students, offered at a reduced rate for young alums ('15-'25) and all other community members are welcome to join us and add to the richness of our holiday experience.
