A time to laugh. A time to cry. - King Solomon 

 

This year for the High Holidays, GW Hillel is highlighting our theme of Gam V’Gam (that and that) by creating a space for hopeful optimism and solemn reflection. Through a variety of events we hope to highlight the duality of life and experience together as a community, the ups and downs of college and of the holiday season. 

 

The High Holidays are a time for renewing ourselves and looking forward to  the year ahead while simultaneously looking back and learning from the past. Gam V’Gam.

 

We hope you will join us in coming together in community to start the semester.

 

GW Hillel will offer combined services the night of Rosh Hashanah and two incredible options for services during the day, Reform or Conservative.  Attendance is free for undergraduate students, offered at a reduced rate for young alums ('14-'24) and all other community members are welcome to join us and add to the richness of our holiday experience.
