Kenyon College Hillel is very proud to be opening a brand new facility for Jewish life on campus. The building will house a Kosher kitchen, a chapel, student lounge, dining room, and the Chaplains office. We are excited to offer a brand new space so that we may continue to welcome, engage and support Jewish life on campus. In addition, we also have a separate Town House in the North Campus Apartments that serves as a permanent Hillel living option. This separate facility houses our student managers for the year, as well as, provides us with additional programming space.

Campus Climate for Jewish Students

Religious Services

Kenyon College Hillel recognizes Shabbat each Friday evening in some way. Sometimes we welcome Shabbat with Friday night services, other times we engage in Community Service or adiscussion with some faculty members. We always have something happening for Friday evening, but the particular activity varies and it almost always includes Shabbat dinner. We also hold services/meals for all of the major Jewish holidays, including, but not limited to, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Passover, Sukkot, Purim, Chanukkah, and others.

Frequency: Friday night only
