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.

Visit our website www.tuftsja.org or reach out to us via email at info@TuftsJA.org. One of our roles is to track antisemitic and discriminatory events on campus.

The first thing to know is that you have choices on how you want to proceed. A report against someone does not automatically trigger and OEO investigation. It is also possible to remain anonymous when you file a report or confidentially “chat” with OEO staff. WHEN IN DOUBT, REACH OUT! Visit this Tufts web page for details.
