Mission Statement
Purdue Hillel is your home for Jewish life at Purdue University.
About This Cause
Since 1951, Purdue Hillel has been designed to feel like a home with a 4100 sq. foot facility that has a full service kosher kitchen, dining room, sanctuary/multi-purpose room, computer/study room, TV room/library, and 3 administrative offices. We celebrate Shabbat and have Friday night dinners while school is in session. We offer programs, lectures, classes, and social events. The building is open during the day for student use. We have over 600 Jewish students on campus, a large number of Jewish faculty, Jewish administrators, a strong Jewish Studies program, a strong Hebrew program (conversational and biblical), and a large, established Jewish community. There is an active chapter of the AEPi fraternity, ZBT fraternity, and Sigma Delta Tau sorority. There is a Temple (Temple Israel-Reform) in West Lafayette, and a Shul (Sons of Abraham-Conservative) in Lafayette. Although we celebrate all other major holidays at Hillel, when the High Holy Days occur on weekends, our students are invited to the Temple and the Shul. This is because so many of our students go home for Services when the Holidays are on weekends. When the holidays fall during the week, we have services at Hillel. We always have our own Kol Nidrei Service each year at Hillel, no matter when the holidays occur.
