Jewish Student Center

Washington and Lee approved plans to build a Center for Jewish Life, or Hillel House, on campus. Please mention the plans for this new building during your tours. Joan Robins, the director of the Jewish student group Hillel, described the house to include a multipurpose room for Shabbat services, study lounges, and offices. There might also be a Kosher Cafe!

Also, don't forget about the other religious organizations on campus: Reformed University Fellowship, the Baptist Student Union, Generals' Christian Fellowship, Joyful Noise, as well as the churches nearby, including a sizeable Latter-Day Saints population in Buena Vista.
