Shabbat
Friday
Shabbat is a time for students to gather with friends and end a busy week with a relaxing evening. St. Louis Hillel welcomes students each Friday night for Shabbat at the Goldfarb Hillel Building or on the Wash U campus with student-led Reform, Conservative and Orthodox services followed by a communal, festive kosher Shabbat dinner.
Reservations for Shabbat dinner are required. Make your reservation by Wednesday at noon through WebFood at http://wuds.webfood.com. Meal points are accepted- $9 with a reservation. Limited walk-ins are sometimes available- $20 at the door.
Saturday
On Saturday mornings, students hold services at Hillel or may choose to go to local synagogues. Shabbat lunch each week is sponsored by St. Louis Hillel on a rotating basis with other area organizations. A full Shabbat lunch schedule is coming soon!
