Rosh Hashanah Packages

A TU Hillel Tradition

With just weeks until the start of the 2023-2024 academic year, and just over one month until Rosh Hashanah 5784 it’s the perfect time to order your Towson University Hillel Rosh Hashanah Package(s)

These packages are a great way to share the love with student(s), friends, family, and neighbors, all while supporting TU Hillel!


NEW for 5784!

Support older adults in need in our community through TU Hillel’s partnership with Jewish Community Services (JCS) by purchasing a Rosh Hashanah Package!

Packages gifted to local adult clients of JCS will bring great joy and sweetness to them during the holiday; as many of them are isolated and without family nearby.
