Shabbat Dinner Schedule INFO

ALTERNATING
UAlbany is unique, where Hillel and Shabbos House (Chabad) work cooperatively with each other. Friday Night Shabbat Dinners ALTERNATE between Shabbos House and Hillel, and students feel welcome and attend both. All PRAYER Services (Conservative, Orthodox and Reform) as well as many who come after the prayers, join together for festive Shabbat dinner. This strong unifying sense of community is one of Jewish UAlbany's highlights.

SCHEDULE and LOCATIONS
See SCHEDULE Page for where dinner is this week. (Shabbat and Holiday events have a yellow background). Shabbos House dinners are held at Shabbos House (see MAP for directions) and Hillel dinners are held in UAlbany's Campus Center (usually in CC 375 or the Assembly Hall).

EVERY SHABBOS
Every Shabbos of the Academic Year there will be a Friday Night Shabbat Dinner for you to go to.. either at Shabbos House or Hillel. You always have a place to come to.

Starting Summer 2004, Shabbos House has begun COZY SHABBAT dinners for those up her summertime, but we will not be here all weekends, be sure to check schedule).

SHABBAT LUNCHES & JEWISH HOLIDAY MEALS
All Shabbat Lunches and all Holiday (Sukkot, Passover etc.) Meals are at Shabbos House.

IS THERE A CHARGE?
There's NO Cost to attend any dinner or festive meal.

WHO PAYS FOR IT?
Hillel dinners are paid by the Hillel Student Group Budget which comes from your Student Activity Fee. Some supplementary funds come from other Jewish Student Groups (also via Studetn Activity Fee) sponsoring themed Friday Nights such as Tagar etc. with additional funds from the University at Albany Hillel (Rabbi Ben Shull, Executive Director) which receives funding from Capital Region and NYC Jewish Federations and from donors and supporters.

Shabbos House Dinners (etc..) are only possible because of the generous contributions of Parents, Alumni, Students and Friends. It is thanks to so many friends with large and small contributions that Shabbos House can do what it does. There is NO funding from the University or National Chabad. Some dinners are co-sponsored by the L'chaim (or Tagar) Student Group.  We also receive a small subsidy from the University at Albany Hillel for Friday Night dinners. See "Funding Page" and the "Sponsors Page".
