At the University of Kansas, both KU Chabad and KU Hillel offer services for students for the High Holidays. The same is true for similar organizations at college campuses across the country.
“It’s amazing to have our student community come together and celebrate the holidays,” KU Hillel Executive Director Suzy Sostrin said.
KU Hillel Senior Jewish Educator Rabbi Neal Schuster added, “It’s really important when students are away from home that they have someplace to go to celebrate and observe the holidays and be with their community.”
KU Chabad’s Rabbi Zalman Tiechtel echoed those statements and said it offered holiday meals at no charge as well.
“Our goal is for every single Jewish student to feel the spirit and the joy of the holiday even while in college,” Rabbi Tiechtel said. “That is why we host the services and meals on campus to enable all to feel welcome and embraced.”
