Parent Resources

All students are welcome at Hillel!

Take comfort in knowing that our regular programming (weekly Shabbat Dinners, Birthright Israel trips, holiday celebrations, leadership opportunities, social justice programs, and religious and social events) is free of charge.

As we work to provide the best possible service to students, we also hope to establish an authentic relationship with parents and family members.

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 CSU, DU or the Auraria campus – or support all three!

  • $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, DU, or Auraria Campus – or choose multiple) and a date or season you’d like to sponsor.  Join us if you’d like.  We will share your name and special Shabbat message with students.

L’chaim!
