Explore Hawaii Hillel

The Jewish community of Honolulu is a small and tightly bound community. As a Hillel, we work to engage students at the university with the rest of the community on the island. While we have a few social events of our own, many of our events are combined with either the local chapter of B`nai Brith or one of the local congregations. While there are no Shabbat services held on campus, there are students active in all of the major Honolulu congregations and rides available to many if not all of their activities and celebrations.
