Hillel at Mississippi State University

Mississippi State University’s Jewish Life On Campus "If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am not for others, what am I?

At Mississippi State University's Hillel, we strive to create positive Jewish experiences for our students every single day. Whether it is a pot luck Shabbat or celebrating Passover at a community member’s home, we want to make our university’s community feel as close to home as possible. We want to be able to provide every opportunity for each student to grow spiritually, emotionally, and socially. And if not now, when?"
- Rabbi Hillel
