Hillel hosts a Shabbat evening service and dinner about 2 times a month.  Join us for services, just dinner, or both!  Services begin at 5:30 pm, dinner follows services (usually around 6:15 pm).  If you plan to come for dinner, fill out the Shabbat Reservation Form or call or email Hillel by Thursday at noon each week.  You may also RSVP on Facebook.  You are welcome to bring friends and family anytime!

The Hillel Shabbat Evening Service is student-led and varies in style, according to the background of person leading.  Hillel is open to expanding its Shabbat service/dinner offerings and frequency as demand dictates.  Shabbat dinners are always FREE for students!

Students who live off campus who wish to host Shabbat dinners where they live may contact Amy at Hillel for support and supplies.

In order to continue to provide Shabbat dinners free of charge to students, a practice that increases attendance and encourages students to invite friends, URI Hillel seeks Shabbat Sponsors.  We invite you to make a $500 contribution to Hillel to fully sponsor a dinner, or a $250 contribution to partially sponsor a dinner.  This covers the cost for a home-cooked meal for 30-40 students.
