Holidays
The Jewish calendar marks special times of the week, month, and year, and our calendar includes a uniquely ‘MIT’ take on Jewish holidays. Alongside traditional services and meals for Shabbat and holidays, we also pit Purim against Hanukkah with a ‘Latke vs Hamentaschen Debate’, celebrate Israeli Independence Day with a very-scientific approach to Hummus, consider the neurological effects of playing dreidel, and honor Purim with the mysterious Shushan Associates.
With all of our holidays, and with Shabbat, we encourage and support students in leading their own meals, rituals, discussions, and more.
