What do you need for the high holidays this year?
UMBC Hillel can help! Let us know what we can provide to make your Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur meaningful on our High Holidays Survey!
"The Abrahamic House is a multifaith incubator for social change. We are a co-living, co-learning, and co-creating space to connect, pray, organize, and serve.
Applicants who are accepted to the program will live together for 1-2 years with the opportunity to learn, gather and serve to challenge and transform faith-based assumptions, prejudices and inequities with the goal to inspire and mobilize others to do the same. During this time, fellows with diverse professional and academic day-to-day commitments will design and facilitate educational and community-building programming together in their free time, culminating in a capstone impact project. In turn, rent is subsidized up to 75% and all Abrahamic House events and programming are financially covered."
The deadline to apply is July 1st. While the focus is on Muslim, Jewish, Baha'i, and Christian communities, people of all faiths are welcome to apply! Check out the website to learn more and apply!
Meetings will take place during free hour on Fridays 9/24, 10/1, and 10/8 at 2 PM, lasting between 2–2.5 hours (currently unsure if in person or virtually). If you're interested in joining us, please fill out our non-binding application!
