Welcome to FSU! We have great events for you for this upcoming summer semester, so make sure to stop by and meet new friends:
Monday, July 13th, 7pm: Bruno Movie night! Meet at Hillel at 7pm. We’ll hang out for a while and carpool over to AMC to watch Bruno at 8pm. You don’t want to miss this because the popcorn is on us! To RSVP simply email RSVP@hillelatfsu.org
Sunday, July 26, noon: BAGEL BRUNCH! The summer version will prepare you for our biggest event every month…bagels, lox, cream cheese…who needs more?
Every Friday, 7pm: Shabbat service and dinner/Oneg! It’s your home away from home so come spend Shabbat with friends. We’ll have a short and sweet Shabbat service followed by Dinner or an Oneg. Everyone is welcome. Stay tuned for a Hawaiian Shabbat.
All events are free and open to everyone, we are located on the corner of Pensacola & Woodward.
This Thursday at sundown, the holiday of Shavuot will start, and we’re celebrating at Hillel with a Friday noon (May 29) dairy luch so join us if you’re in town!
So, you’re accepted to Florida State University for the summer or the fall, you’re going want to “find a friend on campus” as soon as possible. Here are a couple of ways to do that:
1) Stop by the Hillel table at Seminole Discovery when you’re on campus for Orientation. You’ll meet Shaq and Rachel and other members of the tribe. They can fill you in on the all the important stuff.
2) If you live in South Florida come to a Jewish College Life 101

Title: L\’ag B\’Omer Bonfire and food Location: Hillel, backyard Description: 33rd of Omer - L’ag B’Omer
What’s that you say: A bonfire in summer? Of course, it’s tradition on the 33rd day in the Counting of the Omer to have a semi-celebration - including a bonfire. Join us in the backyard of Hillel at 7:30pm for some food and fun and C-hillel-laxing. RSVP so we’ll know you’re coming. Also, if it’s L’ag B’Omer, then Shavuot can’t be far behind - we’ll be celebrating that as well. Start Time: 7:30p.m. Date: Monday, 2009-05-11
Exams have begun, the tears are flowing - from stress, from relief, from sadness and from joy. The Sunday between classes and exams is our change to say Bravo! and Job well done! before family and friends flock to town and take you away to your future.
“Shalom, this is Hillel at FSU. How may I help you?” That may be the first thing you hear when you step in to my mom’s office. Hillel is a Jewish college organization on the Florida State University campus. This is the first time I am able to go with my mom on ‘Take Your Child To Work’ day.
With great sadness, Hillel announces the death of Keith Lowenthal z”l. He was a wonderful person, a great friend and those who knew him appreciated his charm and humor. He had a terrific 28 years of life.
Keith was a FSU alum and Hillel participant over the past several years. After law school he stayed in Tallahassee and became a member of Shomrei Torah. [Read more →]
There will be a walk on campus (meet at 5pm at Hillel), and a ceremony at Hillel at 6:15pm. Everyone is welcome to join us.
Always remember
Because today is Holocaust Memorial Day and that I feel it is my responsibility as a granddaughter of a holocaust survivor I am going to read a prayer/ memorial and dedicate it to those who lost their lives in the Holocaust and their families and anyone who was affected by it.
Although I can not explain why this occurred,
This tragic event was so shocking it left my vision blurred.
The millions of innocent people who lost their precious lives.
There is no answer to the violence, danger and knives.
They kicked you out of your homes and schools.
How could anyone be so cruel?
I hope we all take this day and pray.
For our lives shall be better today.
No more hatred, racism or lies.
No more sad and sorrow good byes.
A brighter future is for us to hold,
Let us put the past behind and be bold.
For we will never forget the cruelty they had,
But, let us hope to let go and not be mad.
To great people who we have grown,
To overcome such a tragic event it has shown.
A brutal history in our past,
Let us carry into the future a positive shadow that now we may cast.
Thank you to everyone who came out to the Iron Chef-Matzah Pizza Competition – it was a great success! Those who came out competed in two categories –matzah pizza and matzah desert pizza, and were faced with the difficult task of completing it all in fifteen minutes. The students had two minutes to gather supplies, ten minutes to create and design their works of art, and three minutes to bake them in the oven. We were really surprised to see how much creativity and originality our students displayed! Roy, Christian, Madison, and Illana did an excellent job of sampling and delivering judgment – their decision was unanimous: Congratulations to Brett, Darin, and Harry on their amazing display of talent, your pizzas were truly delicious!
This past Thursday, Hillel’s two intramural Dodgeball teams took the court. The women’s team defeated the ‘CSU Womanators’ while the Co-Rec team lost a close match, 4-3, against team ‘I Have No Idea.’ Both teams will be playing this Thursday, April 9 night in Tully gym so feel free to come out and support Hillel or play as a team member!
