To serve the students of the future, we must move to a new building, with the increased space and technological capabilities vital to our expanding numbers and activities.

Boston University has undertaken a capital campaign, initiated by the generous gift of two alumni of Boston University Hillel, Irwin Chafetz (CAS'58) and Leonard Florence (SMG'54, Hon.'01). The Florence and Chafetz Hillel House will be constructed on Bay State Road one block east of the present building, at the heart of the Charles River Campus, where it will be an inviting center of social, cultural, and religious activity for many decades to come.

At thirty five thousand square feet, the Florence and Chafetz Hillel House will be spacious, inviting and flexible. Facilities will include:

• A first-floor lounge
• Dining rooms
• Two kosher kitchens
• An auditorium
• Meeting and conference rooms
• Offices
• Areas for large events
• Conservative, Orthodox, and Reform chapels

Our Jewish tradition teaches us that there is always a place for one more person around the Sabbath table. At Hillel, our goal is to promise a place to every Jewish student at Boston University. With the Florence and Chafetz Hillel House, we will be able to honor that promise for generations to come.
