In addition to our regular program of social, cultural, educational and religious activities, we sponsor several clubs in which students can get involved. Purdue Hillel Student Board, FYSH (First Year Students at Hillel), GAPP (Graduates and Professionals at Purdue), ICAP (Israel Council at Purdue) and Jewish Greek life with Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity, Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity and Sigma Delta Tau Sorority. Hillel sponsors religious services and usually special meals and programs for most Jewish holidays. During Passover, Hillel provides 2 Seders and 15 kosher-for-Passover meals. Always check with the Hillel office for more details. Every Friday Hillel offers Shabbat services, (Reform or Conservative) at 6:00 p.m. with a Shabbat Dinner and Oneg to follow at 7 PM. Services are student-led so they may vary from week to week. Depending on interest, Hillel also offers Shabbat morning services several times a semester.Undergraduate Enrollment
