Hi everybody!

We've had some fun spring events so far this quarter, including mezuzah making, knitting, and Falafel Feasting.

Join us for fun events for Shavuot!

Today we're having a talk with Rabbi Samuels at WWU on the Jewish Holiday and Festival Cycle (plus we'll have bagels and cream cheese), and on Shabbat we're having a learning of The book of Ruth with Andrea Shupack at a park (plus a picnic)!

Lili, Class of 2027 shares:

“When I think of WWU Hillel, I think of the word “community.” It's really nice to have a community on campus I can dip into weekly. My first year was really hard socially, and having a place to go and be a part of really helped. I've felt very welcome in the Hillel community here, and I've had a great time learning about Jewish customs and practices. I never felt judged for asking questions or not knowing what something is. I've learned a lot about Jewish observances and norms. This year was my first time ever observing the Yom Kippur fast and participating in Purim. If it weren't for the Hillel community, I don't think I would have the confidence or know-how to participate in those activities."
