Hillel at Emory 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.

Services

Hillel offers Reform and Conservative services on both Rosh Hashannah and Yom Kippur, as well as Orthodox services on Rosh Hashanah. All services are open to Emory students at no charge, but require signing up in advance. Faculty and members of the Atlanta Jewish community and guests are welcome to purchase tickets to attend services. A full schedule of services is available here.
