SHABBAT

As always, Hillel staff and student leaders are looking forward to being with our community for Shabbat services, meals, and moments of connection. Shabbat programming at Hillel is offered every Friday during the academic year, with the exception of holiday breaks. 

Shabbat Services:
In person services are offered each Friday at the Hillel building. Typically, Hillel offers Reform and Conservative services and occasionally offers traditional services as well. Students do not need to RSVP or register for services in advance. Service times will be posted weekly on Texas Hillel’s social media and be sent out via a weekly newsletter. Click here to get on our email list! If you are interested in leading services, giving a D’var Torah, or helping with services in any way, we would love to talk to you! Email us to learn how to get involved with this!

Shabbat Dinner:
We also offer a certified kosher Shabbat meal each Friday at the Hillel building following services. Menus and meals are prepared by Gail’s Catering, a kosher catering company overseen by the Dallas Kosher Va’ad. Shabbat dinner is a festive community experience where students can come together to be with friends, meet new people, and enjoy all Shabbat has to offer. Students do not need to RSVP or register for dinner in advance and dinner is free for students; we kindly request that alumni and community members who are attending Shabbat and are able to make a donation here. Dinner times will be posted weekly on Texas Hillel’s social media and be sent out via a weekly newsletter. You do not need to attend services in order to attend dinner, and conversely, you can attend services without attending dinner.  Each week, we strive to ensure that students new to Hillel have a spot at an open table, where they can meet other new students and some of our student leaders.
