What is Jew It Yourself?
A way to host a fun event for the Jewish Community!
WAYS YOU CAN USE JIY: JIY is both for Jewish events like Shabbat dinner, a Havdalah event, or a fun celebration of another Jewish holiday AND for any event that allows you to engage in Jewish community- think fun, creative, and specific to you!
Hillel will provide the necessary space and materials (snacks, supplies, etc.) to make your event a JIY success!
You can either host an event in your own home OR reserve space to host a Jewish event in the Hillel building*!
*we ask that if your event is hosted in the Hillel building, it be open to the greater Hillel community
IDEAS INCLUDE:
- Shabbat dinner with your friends at your dorm or apartment!
- A trip to the farmer’s market & cooking Shabbat brunch!
- Havdalah and movie night in the Hillel lounge
- Jewelry making, board game night, cupcake decorating, the possibilities are endless!
Here’s how it works:
- Fill out the form above
- Once your event is approved, you will receive an email with details about what we can provide for your event, including how to use the building, reimbursement info, etc.
- We will assemble your custom JIY kit, and arrange a time for you to pick it up
