The Arizona Board of Regents policy states that "Administrators and faculty members are expected to reasonably accommodate individual religious practices. A refusal to accommodate is justified only when undue hardship would result from each available alternative of reasonable accommodation." If you have an issue, we recommend that you first speak with the teacher, then to the department head, then contact  Michelle at Hillel.

Shabbat services are held at the UA Hillel every other Friday evening (depending on the calendar) when school is in session. There are three student-led services to choose from: Reform, Conservative, and Orthodox and an alternative to prayer - Friday Night Chill, featuring a discussion on a hot Jewish topic.  Students who are interested in leading or organizing a service should contact the staff.

A delicious kosher dinner follows Shabbat services.  Dinner is FREE for students, $8 for community members.   Advanced registration is requested so we can prepare enough food!  

RSVP for dinner

On the weeks that Hillel does not offer Shabbat services and dinner, we invite students to host their own dinners though Shabbat Unplugged, a new program designed to help students connect with each other in houses, dorms, apartments, or Greek residences. For more information, contact Michelle.

 
Holiday commemorations at Hillel vary depending on when they fall during the year.  We do our best to accommodate all of our students, so please let us know if there is something missing!  When Hillel is not conducting an event, we will connect students to the community.
