The University of Delaware offers a robust Shabbat experience. Every week, 50 or more students come through our doors for student led Reform or Conservative services and a themed dinner, completely free of charge.

We cannot build our Jewish community on Friday nights without your support. A gift of $500 will pay for one night’s Kiddush, challah, candles, and delicious meal. In addition, you choose which night you wish to sponsor—to mark a milestone or a special occasion, to tell Hillel students about your initiative or organization, or just to show your support to our students.

Shabbat sponsorships help us to truly make our Hillel a home away from home for Jewish students and are an opportunity to reach even more of our students. If you would like to sponsor a Shabbat or would like more information about how we recognize and honor our Shabbat Sponsors, please contact Development Associate Sam Fruchtman at samf@udel.edu or call us at (302) 453-0479.
