Sponsor a Shabbat
We build our Jewish community with YOUR support!
Sponsor a Shabbat
Help us assure a strong Jewish future by sponsoring a Shabbat at our CSU or DU campus – or both:
- $500 helps underwrite one Friday night Shabbat dinner at one campus.
- Friday night Erev Shabbat is Hillel’s largest weekly gathering, 50 – 150 students system wide.
- Our annual Shabbat cost: $50,000. If supporters underwrite every Shabbat, we raise 50% of that total.
- Join us on “your Shabbat” or not; we’ll give you a deserved shout-out, so students know you care.
For our 2,000 Jewish university students in Colorado, Hillel’s Shabbat is priceless, where hundreds connect to Jewish mentors and peers and build a four-year connection to their new home-away-from-home and a lifetime commitment to Jewish life and values. With the cost of food & supplies through the roof, your generosity allow us to remove all barriers and continue providing this amazing experience free-of-charge to every student.
$500 helps underwrite a Friday night’s Kiddush (a healthy, traditional Shabbat meal with challah, candles, a student-led program and off-the-charts Jewish camaraderie. Pick a campus (CSU or DU – or choose both) and a date or season in wish you’d like to sponsor. Join us if you’d like. We will share your name and special Shabbat message with students.
L’chaim!
