Spiritual Life
Hillel at the University of Central Oklahoma is committed to ensuring that every student finds their place within our diverse, supportive, and welcoming community. From Shabbat services to educational opportunities to holiday celebrations, our goal is clear: to provide students with access to various aspects of Jewish life while fostering a strong and vibrant Jewish identity.
We actively seek to welcome and accept all who wish to learn, listen, connect, or worship with us. Our environment, where all forms of Judaism are respected, serves as a rich ground for learning. Strong relationships with our local rabbis offer one-on-one and group learning opportunities and access to additional programs, leadership roles, and community support.
Whether Shabbat is held on campus, at a local synagogue, or in a restaurant, we would love to connect and share our Jewish journey with you!
