Jewish Life at OU
College is about discovering who you are, building friendships, and finding a community where you belong—and that's exactly what Jewish life at the University of Oklahoma is all about. Whether you've been involved in Jewish life your whole life or are looking to reconnect for the first time, Oklahoma Hillels offers a welcoming, inclusive community where you can celebrate Jewish traditions, explore your identity, make lifelong friends, and create unforgettable college memories. From weekly Shabbat dinners and holiday celebrations to social events, leadership opportunities, service projects, Israel programming, and casual hangouts at the Hillel House, there's always something happening. However you choose to get involved, you'll find a place where you can be yourself, grow, and feel at home.

Shabbats and
Pre-Shabbat Onegs
Shabbat offers a vital pause in the whirlwind of academic, social, and digital life. It's an opportunity to disconnect from stress and reconnect with community, tradition, and self. Whether through shared meals, prayer, or simply unplugging, Shabbat creates sacred space to reflect, recharge, and find meaning. Oklahoma Hillels hosts Shabbat experiences on the first three Fridays of each month, and we would love to share those opportunities with you!
