For many years, Jewish students at Truman State University gathered informally to socialize and celebrate holidays. In 2000, a group of students formed Hillel, gained University recogntion, and became affiliated with the national organization.

Truman Hillel members:

~hold weekly meetings while classes are in session
~organize monthly shabbat dinners
~arrange carpools to and accomodations in Columbia for High Holy Days services
~take part in Truman religious roundtables and similar events
~act as the voice of the Jewish community on campus

"In this small but close-knit Jewish community, with its core of dedicated students and faculty, I was able to create and participate in programs that allowed me to deeply explore and celebrate aspects of Judaism that were personally important."
