Hillel activities include holiday and Shabbat celebrations and services, parties, films, speakers, and Israel-related activities. Hillel is active in the United Campus Ministries Association of ASU. The Temple of the High Country (formerly The Boone Jewish Community) and Hillel maintain close ties and Hillel also frequently works with ASU's Center for Judaic, Holocaust, and Peace Studies.

We meet in the Watauga River Room in the Student Union every other Wednesday 5:00 to 6:00 pm. Everyone is welcome!

The Temple of the High Country holds weekly Shabbat services every Friday night at 7 at St. Luke's Episcopal Church. If you would like to go and need a ride, feel free to contact us at our GMail address (found below) and we will work out a carpool.
