Campus Ministry

Jewish Campus Ministry

Hillel's mission is to help nurture and develop Jewish student life and enhance the Jewish community at Central. Our programming is non-denominational and supports Reform, Conservative and Orthodox students. Events include our annual Sukkot celebration, Passover Seder, Shabbat dinners, social outings and trips to Israel.

Although Hillel does not provide religious services on-campus, students are able to attend services, free of charge, at any local synagogue. The closest synagogues to campus are:

Temple Sinai Reform 41 West Hartford Road Newington, CT 06111	Congregation Tephereth Israel Orthodox 76 Winter St. New Britain, CT 06050
Congregation B'nai Sholom Conservative 26 Church Street Newington, CT 06111

Rabbi Henry Okolica is available to students for religious guidance and counseling. The campus contact and Hillel Jewish Student Life Coordinator is Beth Brenner. She can be reached at ven_brennerb@ccsu.edu
