KU Hillel has announced its annual Rock Chalk Shabbat event will be held Friday, Nov. 1, at the Burge Union on the University of Kansas’s campus in Lawrence.
Rock Chalk Shabbat is a tradition for KU Hillel, welcoming KU families, alumni and community members to campus for Shabbat services, food and connection. In addition to highlighting the past, present and future of Jewish life at KU, the evening helps support Hillel programs and Jewish education.
“As a Hillel, there are so few times when we truly get to bring the entire Jayhawk Jewish community together to celebrate as one,” said Ethan Helfand, executive director of KU Hillel. “I’m excited to bring generations of KU Hillel supporters together as we embrace the pause of Shabbat and reflect on all the support our community provides for Jewish life at KU.
“Rock Chalk Shabbat continues to be a high point of the year at KU Hillel,” Helfand continued. “We can’t wait to welcome students, parents and community members to Lawrence for this incredible evening.”
Rock Chalk Shabbat will include student-led Shabbat services followed by a Shabbat dinner and dessert reception for mingling. Throughout the evening, attendees will learn more about KU Hillel, its students and the community.
