Chai Vekayam x Texas Hillel Collab
This collection was designed by Sage Oravitz and Hannah Kaffee, members of Texas Hillel’s student executive cabinet. This set is a comfortable way to proudly represent Jewish life at The University of Texas at Austin wherever you go.
Texas Hillel is a home away from home for Jewish students in Austin—a place to meet new people, celebrate holidays and Shabbat, explore Jewish identity, and build a community. Through meaningful programs and shared traditions, Texas Hillel helps students make the Forty Acres feel a little more like home.
18% of all proceeds will go directly back to Texas Hillel, helping support the programs, celebrations, Shabbat dinners, and experiences that bring Jewish Longhorns together. Hook ’em!
