Hillel of Colorado to host High Holy Days services
In celebration of the upcoming Jewish new year, is hosting High Holy Days services on campus for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Students and the greater 麻豆影院 community are invited to join Hillel for the holidays. Rabbi Don Levy will lead the services.
鈥淲e are thrilled to welcome Rabbi Levy to CU to lead our services,鈥 said Linda Loewenstein, campus director at CU 麻豆影院 Hillel. 鈥淥ur goal at Hillel is to provide a home away from home for Jewish students, and we are hopeful that faculty members will join our students for services at Old Main on the CU campus.鈥
Levy is a graduate of Hebrew Union College and a retired U.S. Air Force chaplain. After retiring from the Air Force, he served congregations in Colorado and Australia. He now lives in Israel, and his daughter Ma鈥檃yan is a graduate student at CU 麻豆影院.
鈥淚t is so important to engage young Jewish students in High Holy Day services to help further their connection to Judaism even while they are at college,鈥 said Levy.
鈥淚 am honored to have been chosen to lead services at Hillel of Colorado in 麻豆影院. Although different congregations in the city welcome Jewish CU students to join with them for these important days, the CU students who are active in Hillel have created a warm community for themselves. Director Linda Loewenstein and I agree that it is important to offer them an opportunity to observe these days in their own unique, student-centered environment. We look forward to seeing students and the greater community alike to celebrate the holidays with us.鈥
Most services will be held at Old Main Chapel on the CU 麻豆影院 campus. See the schedule and locations listed below. There is no charge for students to attend services. There is a suggested minimum donation of $54 per holiday for community members.
