What does it mean to be Jewish? What is inside your Jewish "box"? How do you express your Jewish identity? What Jewish tools do you have and which tools do you want? These are some of the questions we will be encountering this year over the High Holidays at GW.

 

GW Hillel will be offering free meals for STUDENTS ONLY on Rosh Hashanah and delicious pre and post fast meals for Yom Kippur. All meals will be served at the GW Hillel building. 

 

GW Hillel will offer combined services the night of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur and two incredible options for High Holiday services during the day, Progressive or Conservative.  Attendance is free for undergraduate students, offered at a reduced rate for young alums ('13-'23) and all other community members are welcome to join us and add to the richness of our holiday experience.
