Weekly Events

Tuesday Brunch

On Tuesday, we gather for Tuesday Brunch, which includes a free meal and an educational component (see below).

Brunch starts at 11:30 am at UC Davis. It’s buffet style. Come by anytime between 11:30-1:30 pm and grab a plate of delicious homemade foods and fresh fruit.

Shabbat

During the academic year we celebrate a weekly Shabbat where we explore different educational themes during dinner. The exceptions are school breaks and most 3-day weekends.

We offer student-led Kabbalat Shabbat services and a delicious dinner prepared in our kosher kitchen by our chef and student volunteers.

All food is kosher, and vegetarian options are available.

Friday-Evening Schedule

6:00 pm - Kabbalat Shabbat Services

Learning Opportunities

Hillel incorporates learning opportunities into our events throughout the year. Below are some examples.

We offer learning fellowships, such as the Jewish Learning Fellowship (JLF) and the Israel Learning Fellowship (ILF), and heard from guest speakers from the Arava Institute for Environmental Studies.

Many of our Shabbat events have an educational theme, and all of them are totally free for all attendees.

Tuesday Brunch often includes a learning or tzedek component, such as assembling care packages for Afghan refugees in 2021.
