期待什么: 学生 at Skidmore connect to 犹太人 Life in a wide variety of ways. 一些成为 active in our clubs, including Hillel 和 Challahmore. Others just stop by now 和 then for a Shabbat gathering. Some are particularly passionate about social justice 和 tikkun olam projects or helping to plan events that raise awareness about Judaism 和 犹太人 Culture. During the academic year Shabbat services take place at 5:15 on Friday evenings, usually at 威尔逊教堂 (be sure you're signed up with us to get updates about locations 和 sign-ups for events!). Shabbat dinners are at 6:30pm, usually on the second floor of the Dining Hall. Havdalah gatherings take place at least once each month. Can't join us in person but want some challah 和 juice, or even some (residence hall- approved electric) c和les for your own welcoming of Shabbat? Grab a Shabbat bag! Bags will be available most Friday afternoons at the tables in Case Center or contact us to request one.
