From Rosh Hashanah to Passover to Yom Ha'Aztmaut (Israel's Independence Day) Trinity provides religious, social, and cultural programming for all significant Jewish observances and celebrations. The Jewish year on campus begins with High Holiday services at the Zachs Hillel House. Every Friday night, the Hillel House comes alive with an engaging Shabbat service and a delicious home cooked dinner that is free to all students. Chanukah is marked by group candle lighting in Mather Hall for each night of the holiday and parties. Tu B’Shvat offers an opportunity to focus on ecology and our natural world through a Jewish perspective. Purim brings together the entire student body for hamantachsen making, a purimspiel, megillah reading and masquerade ball. Passover begins with a large community seder and culminates in the Mark S. Levy Pesach Shabbat Dinner.
