FAQs:

How does this work?

You RSVP through our Shabbat form and then come to Hillel on Friday. It's seriously that easy!

Am I welcome at Shabbat?

Do you enjoy free, home-cooked meals? You do!? Then this is for you! All Hillel programs are not only open to everyone, whether you consider yourself Jewish, Jew-ish, or not Jewish, but they're designed to be welcoming for you, no matter how you identify. We seriously can't wait to see/meet you!

What should I wear?

There’s no dress code! We invite you to come as you are, dressed in whatever makes you feel at home.

Where is Hillel? We're currently at 4 Choate Street, Newark, DE. This is our temporary space during construction of our new, state-of-the-art building. Shabbat programming is either held at this space or at Trabant (check our instagram and weekly email for the location).

Are there service/worship options? Do I have to come to them?

Services begin around 5 pm. You’re welcome to come to services, join students who are hanging out, or come just in time for dinner! Whenever you show up, you’re welcome here.

Do I have to pay for meals?

Generous donors subsidize the cost of our Shabbat meals - current UD students do not have to pay!
