JudaismHillelHillel House is the center of Jewish life at BU. It is an open community where all styles and versions of Judaism are welcome. Non-practicing Jews as well as secularists, Zionists, non-Zionists, Reform, Conservative and Orthodox Jews visit and get involved at Hillel House. Hillel is a social organization where, in an elegant and peaceful setting, people from all over the country meet and get to know their countrtparts - at an Isreal Fair, a lecture, a dance, or while doing a phonathon. Hillel is a place of learning, assuming that when Jewish knowledge falls behind secular knowledge, the Jewish people are at a loss. Hillel offers mini-courses, where faculty, staff and students meet to grapple with their concerns and study. Hillel is the campus synagogue, where the reform Havurah, Conservative and Orthodox Minyanim, the Sefardic and the Graduate Student Minyan thrive on the Sabbath and on festivals. It is the kosher dining room, and a place for students to meet with Boston's elderly Jews and special needs young adults. Hillel has a Rabbi on full-time staff, with counseling also available, and is a democratically run student organization with officers elected annually. ChabadChabad students at BU emphasize the rich spiritual aspects of Judaism through fellowship, guest lectures, worship, and education in conjunction with the Chabad House of Greater Boston.
