High Holidays

Hillel works hard to meet the religious needs of Jewish students during the High Holidays and to make the holidays engaging and meaningful for students away from home. As these holidays generally take place at the beginning of each school year they can cause a significant amount of academic stress, especially on freshmen.

NOTE TO STUDENTS: To avoid some of the pitfalls with academic conflicts during the holidays, please discuss your needs with your professors as soon as you receive your syllabi. While professors are not obligated to excuse absences, they generally will work with you. Please contact Hillel at 404-963-2548 if a conflict remains unresolved after you have attempted to resolve the conflict on your own.

Hillel offers Reform and Conservative services on both Rosh Hashannah and Yom Kippur, as well as Orthodox services on Rosh Hashanah on Emory's Campus. All services are open to Georgia State students at no charge, but request you sign up in advance. GSU Faculty and members of the Atlanta Jewish community and guests are welcome to purchase tickets to attend services.
