About Butler
Butler University contains a small but growing Jewish presence. We hold monthly Kabbalat Shabbat services and dinners and on alternate weekends we hold Sunday Brunches, Havdalah followed by a social event or Friday Night Live Project where students gather in homes and cook Shabbat dinner together. We hold a variety of programs including film screenings, musicians, Sukkah building and decorating, game nights, attendance at NBA games, and Israeli dancing. The High Holy Days, Sukkot, Chanukah, Tu B`Shvat, Purim and Pesach are all observed. We help students find Israel programs and we engage in a variety of initiatives that involve serving others.
