Since 1965, Hillel at Davis and Sacramento has been helping local students and young adults explore and celebrate their Jewish identities. While Hillel focuses on Jewish programming, people of all backgrounds are always welcome. It works in collaboration with the many student groups on campus, and provides social, religious, and educational programming.
Some of the programs they provide are weekly Shabbat dinners, Jewish holiday services, student groups, free trips to Israel, community service projects, and grad and young professional events. For Sacramento, they offer programs in the area, including for CSUS and other area colleges.
Most events happen at the historic Hillel House in downtown Davis, located right across the street from Toomey Field. The Hillel House is a welcoming place where students can eat certified kosher snacks, use the wireless internet, study in the library, or hang out in the yard. But be warned! Parking is scarce, so it is better to just walk or park in the Downtown Public Parking.
Hillel house was subject to a serious NIMBY attack back in 2001 - 2002 when they tried to remodel and expand. See the Enterprise article.
Due to problems with funding, expansion of the Hillel House was put on hold for several years. However, the planning commission of Davis again approved a building project in October 2010. A two-story facility with a basement (for additional parking) was planned to replace the buildings located at 328 A St. and 322 A St.
Construction on the newest $5,000,000 Hillel House was completed in 2012. It has a basement activity center, offices, meeting rooms, a kosher kitchen, and a chapel. A grand opening event is scheduled for May 6, 2012. Contact Hillel House for more information or to purchase tickets.
