Candy Carnival

Who knew a bounce house could fit in Hillel's auditorium?

Who knew a clown hung out at Hillel?

Who knew you could get a pie in the face,

cotton candy,
A Shuga-serenade,

and a painted face
all at Hillel?

I'll tell you who knew: Starfish and The Boys and Girls Club who had a blast last night at OSU Hillel's Candy Carnival!

And an AIDS Awareness program which will tentatively be on February 19th at 7:30 pm.

It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time!

This Tuesday, November 18th, one of Hillel's most famous events is happening. PB&JAM!

With the help of campus fraternities, sororities, clubs, organizations and Hillel student groups over 4,000 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches will be made to help feed the hungry in Columbus.

Here's how it works:

This Tuesday PB&J stations will be set up all over campus, so no matter where you are, you can stop by and make a few sandwiches.

This event would not be possible without Starfish, Hillel's community service student group. They certainly are "stellar"

Here's a little video to get you pumped for PB&JAM

The high holidays are done...but there's still lots of fun

Whether or not you celebrated the high holidays at Hillel, you can still be in on all the excitement that goes on here every week!

Hillel hosts a number of student groups catering to every possible interest.
Here's a peek at a few:

Starfish is Hillel's social action team dedicated to making the world a better place. Their programs include PB&Jam (coming soon! November 18!) and Alternative Winter and Spring Break.

The Israel Action Committee puts on a variety of events ranging from advocacy seminars to outrageous Middle Eastern themed parties. Perhaps one of the most exciting programs is a free trip to Israel!
