Free-style Parents Weekend – October 24-25

October 24 and 25 will offer an alternative, non-football Parents Weekend. You do not need to register with FSU to attend this weekend or its activities. Other aspects of university life are featured including Circus performances, music and dance concerts and other atheletic events. Check out the details here.

We will also be honoring certain donors who have helped make this new Hillel a reality.

Hillel at FSU will provide a weekend full of Jewish activities – please join us for those which work with your schedule.

Friday night we invite you to join us as we welcome Shabbat at 7pm with a delicious, traditional Shabbat dinner from matzo ball soup, baked chicken, salad, vegetables and the most delicious chocolate cake ever. There’s always vegetarian options available. Hillel at FSU maintains a fully kosher kitchen observing Conservative guidelines. (Suggested donation $18)
Saturday we are planning a Bagel Brunch including discussion at 10:30a.m That will leave you and your student plenty of time to enjoy Shabbat, tour the campus, or take in one of the local sights or events.
Saturday evening (6pm-8pm) welcomes the new week with a spirited Havdallah, light refreshments, Wine Tasting and concert by FSU World Music Director Dr. Michael Bakan and Omnimusica. They will be performing works from their latest album Ashrei .
