Shabbat at Penn Hillel is a sight to be seen. Every week, hundreds of students take a break and celebrate Shabbat by enjoying dinner and a variety of services, interesting speakers, and chill time at Steinhardt Hall.
Each Friday evening, Reform, Conservative, Orthodox, and Sephardic services begin about five minutes after candle lighting. Services are promptly followed by a communal dinner. Check out our special Shabbat evening programs called PHRIDAYS.
On Saturday mornings, both Orthodox and Conservative services begin at 9 a.m. and are followed by a delicious Kiddush and lunch in the Falk Dining Commons. A light snack and communal singing follow Orthodox and Conservative afternoon services. Assorted events may follow the conclusion of Shabbat.
