Jewish Life at Tufts
At Tufts Hillel, we provide a warm, welcoming environment where you’ll engage your curiosity, energy, and intellect—and perhaps have the most significant experiences of your college years. Dive deep into your identity, explore religious practice, develop lifelong friendships—and help make the world a better place.
​
Shalom and welcome to Tufts University! Leaving for college can be ridiculously daunting. So for all Jewish Tufts students, the Chabad House is your "home away from home." Meet, greet, eat and socialize with other Jewish students in a warm atmosphere. Our activities are open to all regardless of Jewish affiliation, background or level of observance.
​
Reach out to us via email at info@TuftsJA.org. Note: One of our roles is to track antisemitic and discriminatory events on campus.

Tufts United Against Antisemitism
