Transparent Meal Pricing:

The real cost of a meal to Tufts Hillel per person is over $40.00. This year Hillel will cover 100% cost of all High Holiday meals for students. Any non-Tufts students should contact Marilyn Goldman at marilyn.goldman@tufts.edu to make arrangements to pay for their meals.

Please consider a voluntary donation of $18, $36, $72, $100 to cover the cost of these meals. You can donate below.

In order for Hillel to be reimbursed by Dining you must give us your student ID# on the registration form and permission to charge your meal plan. Please remember that all 1st year students have unlimited meal swipes and therefore can choose this option.

Registration

So that we can order the appropriate amount of food to accommodate everyone while avoiding food waste, we ask that you sign up for ALL Rosh Hashanah meals by 9/16 and for Yom Kippur meals by 9/27.

This year, we’re streamlining sign-ups with our new Bot system. Each meal and service will have its own unique code.

To register, text the meal or service’s code to 617 420 7411.

Walk-ins: 

If you sign up in advance your meal is guaranteed; there is no guaranteed availability for walk-ins although we will do our best to accommodate.

If you missed the deadline to sign up and would like to join us please email marilyn.goldman@tufts.edu and we will do our best to accommodate you depending on availability.
