Prospective Students

Group Photo of StudentsBoston University Hillel is the only organization in the greater Boston area to provide BU students with over 400 programs a year, ranging from cultural, social, religious, educational, social action to Israel-oriented. Not to mention, we have over 20 satellite groups that operate within the greater Boston University Hillel organization.

These groups range from Israeli dancing to an all Jewish a cappella group to several diverse community service groups. There is also kosher dining available at the Florence & Chafetz Hillel House six days a week for lunch and dinner. We also offer religious services for Reform, Conservative and Orthodox observant students on Shabbat and all holidays. The Boston University Hillel is a place where any Jewish student can feel comfortable with his/her Jewish identity.

Come join us for our Prospective Student Shabbaton...
