Explore Lester and Jewell Morris Hillel Jewish Student Center
MSU Hillel is a "home away from home" for Jewish students on campus. It's a place for students to come together and have fun socializing in a Jewish environment. Students come to study, enjoy a delicious kosher Shabbat dinner, hangout with friends, celebrate Jewish holidays, participate in various community services events and athletic programs. Shabbat dinner is always free, as well as Sunday brunches, which are offered once a month. MSU Hillel participates in Birthright Israel and Alternative Break trips.SHABBAT
Every week during the academic year, 150 or more students join together at Hillel for student-led services followed by a free dinner. Some students choose to come to services and meals; others may attend only services or only join their friends for a Shabbat meal. Services are at 6pm followed by dinner at 7pm. We gratefully acknowledge the Peter (z'l) and Shirlye (z'l) Helman Shabbat Dinner Fund and the Ryan Rosman (z'l) Leadership Fund for their leadership support of Shabbat Dinners at Hillel. To make a reservation for our free Friday night dinner, visit www.hillelspartan.eventbrite.com. To arrange for a ride in the Hillel van, please email Nate Strauss at [email protected]

At Passover, Hillel hosts seders on the first and second nights, as well as lunch and dinner every day. We gratefully acknowledge the Gary Davidoff Passover Endowment Fund and the Phyllis and Richard Bleznak Passover Holiday Celebration Endowment Fund for support of Hillel's Passover Seders.
