Attending Hillel Events

All of our events are free and open to the greater Lafayette Community. We hope anyone feels welcome to attend any of our religious services, join us for a bagel and discussion during our monthly Bagel Brunches, hang out at social events such as study breaks, or attend one of the lectures sponsored or co-sponsored by Hillel throughout the year.

In the instance that we are attending an event off campus (such as bowling or Apple picking) where an entrance fee is required, Hillel will often subsidize the cost, so that students can participate with a considerable discount.

Families and Prospective Students

We also welcome all family members who are interested in joining our community for Shabbat services or bagel brunches to come any time. Additionally, Hillel loves to welcome and show around prospective students so please reach out to the current President and/or the advisor (see About Us section for contact information) to set up a time to see the Hillel house and meet students!

Attending Hillel Board Meetings

Hillel Executive Board meetings are open to anyone who is interested in attending. They are held on Mondays at 12pm in the Buttery Room (Room 221) in upstairs Farinon.  However, due to limited seating in our meeting room, we request that you email our VP Communications at least a day prior to the meeting to let us know you would like to attend.

Voting and Running for Board

We hold elections each year for the Executive Board (President and Vice Presidents) in December, and positions run for the calendar year.   Although the executive board is voted in, the general board positions are filled through application.   The general board positions are usually filled at the December elections, but we accept applications throughout the year.  If you are interested in joining the general board after this election time, please email the VP Communications for more information.  Please include a reason why you’d like to serve as a board member.
