Our primary mission is to instill in our children a love for Judaism, Jewish values, and a strong Jewish identity within an inclusive, welcoming, and non-judgmental context. LJCRS is open to the entire Greater Lafayette Jewish community, including but not restricted to members of Sons of Abraham and Temple Israel. It serves children aged three (as of October 1) through ninth graders. It meets a maximum of thirty Sunday mornings per year at Temple Israel; a number of special activities during the year are held at Sons of Abraham Synagogue. The school employs high school aged aides (former students of LJCRS) who then continue their involvement in the Jewish community. Our school is member-run, with many opportunities for parent participation.

Today we have about 800 Jewish students on campus and many Jewish faculty and administrators. Hillel is a friendly and comfortable place for students of ALL Jewish backgrounds to come together to study, to discuss, to eat, to have fun, to celebrate the holidays, to learn, to get advice, to explore, and much more. We celebrate Shabbat and have a free dinner on Fridays when school is session; we have programs, lectures, classes, etc., as well as social events. The building is open during the day for student use. Hillel offers an opportunity to develop and achieve Jewish leadership skills that will be useful well after the college years.<\/p>\n<p>Hillel is located at:<br \/>\n912 W. State st.<br \/>\nW.
