Explore Mississippi State University Hillel

Hillel, the Jewish Student Association, is MSU's only Jewish-based student organization. Our primary goals are to provide a sense of unified community to our Jewish students and represent Judaism to the greater MSU community. Hillel occasionally holds Shabbat and holiday services in the Chapel of Memories on campus; more frequent religious services are available at Temple B’nai Israel in Columbus.
