All university dining services operate under kosher supervision. 

The university offers various study programs, including Torah lessons (Bible, Talmud, Jewish thought, and more) in collaboration with organizations such as Beit Hillel, Tchelet, Havruta, and Chabad on Campus. 

Beit Midrash Programs 

Beit Midrash Programs at Hebrew University focus on Jewish identity and commitment to Jewish values, fostering a deep spiritual understanding of the world we live in. This is achieved through a comprehensive program that includes lessons and lectures on a wide range of topics, such as Torah, Talmud, Halacha, Jewish thought, and philosophy. 

Programs are open to all students – men and women, religious and secular.
