About Us
Jewish Life at Duke is comprised of the Freeman Center and the Rubenstein-Silvers Hillel. The Freeman Center provides a home for Jewish life on campus while the Rubenstein-Silvers Hillel provides exciting and innovative programming throughout the Duke community. The combination works to foster and enrich Jewish life through social, educational, religious and cultural activities. A pluralistic approach to Judaism assures that all Jews, regardless of denomination, feel welcome in the building and at programs. Events are open to all members of the Duke community as well as the Durham and Chapel Hill Jewish community. All Jewish holidays are observed. Shabbat services are held on Friday nights during the school year and are followed by a kosher Shabbat dinner. Kosher dinners are served during the week at Henry’s Place in the Heyman Dining Hall at the Freeman Center and are available at other times by special arrangement. The Rubenstein-Silvers Hillel is accredited by Hillel: The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life.
