Cornell Hillel is the main gateway for Cornell students to get involved in the many facets of Jewish life on campus. With our students, faculty and staff we continuously strive to create a broadly defined Jewish campus culture, which is intrinsically intertwined with the culture of Cornell University. There are approximately 3,000 undergraduate and 500 graduate Jewish students at Cornell, comprising 22% of the student body. In addition, there are over 30 different Jewish student organizations, including everything from the Chain Notes to Corneillians for Israel (CFI).
104West! menus are prepared under the supervision of STAR-K (meat and pareve) and STAR-D (dairy) Kosher Certifications, and Jewish dietary laws are strictly followed with the direction of a resident "Mashgiach," or kosher-food supervisor. Along with meeting kosher dining requirements, 104West! also specializes in Halal, Seventh-day Adventist, vegetarian, vegan, and other diets. Chef J comes up with creative menu options that appeal to a wide range of our Cornell customers.
