Dear Future Bulldogs,

Welcome to Yale Hillel, where Jews from all different backgrounds come together to form one incredible community! Between bagel brunch, Jewish a capella, religious services, Israel, Jewish fraternity or sorority, social justice, Hebrew school teaching, klezmer band and daily kosher meals, we have something for everyone. We hope to meet you during Bulldog Days, especially at our Matzah Pizza Party on Tuesday night and the Meet and Greet at Tuesday’s lunch!

We look forward to seeing all of you in a few weeks!

The Yale Hillel Board
