Explore Hillel at University of Nebraska, Lincoln JSA
UNL Hillel is the center of Jewish life on campus at UNL. We currently have around 50 affiliated members from many different backgrounds and from all over the country. We host Shabbat dinners and events for every Jewish holiday. For example, we host Passover Seders, Hanukkah latke trucks, Yom Kippur break-the-fast dinners, Purim and Yom Haatzmaut parties, and much more. We also provide the necessary resources for members to celebrate the holidays such as free menorahs for Hanukkah and transportation to the nearby synagogues for high holidays. We have a Kosher kitchen on campus, and Kosher for Passover food provided during the Passover holiday. Reach out to learn more about being a Jewish Husker!
