Shabbat
In partnership with our student organizations, Stony Brook Hillel hosts a Kosher Shabbat meal twice a month. Shabbat meals are always free to students, thanks to the generosity of our donors. Students seeking a traditional, non-egalitarian services are always invited to join Stony Brook Hebrew Congregation for Friday night and Saturday morning services. We are always looking for students interested in learning and cultivating our Shabbat experience through prayer services, song sessions, Saturday activities, and fun and educational themes.
High Holidays
Students and community members are welcome to join us and Stony Brook Hebrew Congregation for Orthodox services for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Services are always free for students, and we encourage them to take a role in the services if they choose to do so. Students wishing to attend services of holiday-related programs are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the Religious Exemption Policy and alert their professors they may be missing class.
For students looking for reform or conservative services during the High Holidays, Hillel offers tickets and walking groups to local congregations. For those interested in on-campus Orthodox services, make sure to register here.
Other Holidays
Whether we are lighting the menorah together, dining in the Sukkah, or celebrating Israel’s birthday, Stony Brook Hillel is a great place to be for any of the holidays! Some of our largest events are our incredible holiday celebrations. We look forward to building and decorating our Sukkah, dressing up and enjoying hundreds of hamantaschen for Purim, and taking time to pause and reflect on Yom HaShoah and Yom HaZikaron.
