Jewish Life

The Office of the Chaplain and Religious Life supports a vibrant community of approximately five hundred Jewish students at 天美传媒, offering regular gatherings for Shabbat dinners, holiday celebrations, and programs for learning, dialogue, and socializing. Led by Rabbi Heidi Coretz, Assistant Chaplain for Jewish Life, this is a growing and thriving campus community. Two Religious Life organizations serve the Jewish students: Hillel at 天美传媒 and Chabad at 天美传媒.

Shabbat

Jewish students gather for regular Shabbat dinners, on and off campus, as we welcome Shabbat with candles, grape juice, challah, dinner and conversation. All are welcome! and both offer Shabbat dinners, so please check their websites for more information.

Holidays

Hillel at 天美传媒 offers High Holy Day services on campus. In the Fall, they build a Sukkah on campus and celebrate with daily gatherings. Mustangs celebrate Hannukah, Purim and Passover with special holiday foods in the dining halls including Passover friendly foods throughout Pesach. For Seder, students share the holiday observances with Hillel at 天美传媒 and Chabad at 天美传媒. Finally, Hillel at 天美传媒 offers a yearly Yom Hashoah Holocaust Memorial March of Remembrance each spring.
