These are some of the many vibrant Jewish groups, communities, or spaces in our campus community that are connected to Oberlin Hillel.
CHALLaH cappella is Oberlin’s only Jewish music a cappella group on campus. CHALLaH cappella performs at student functions throughout the year, including Shabbat dinners, the midterm study break, and even a few off-campus venues. Repertoire includes everything from traditional Jewish melodies, modern Israeli pop tunes, and an array of American songs by Jewish artists. CHALLah cappella is open to all Obies, Jewish and non-Jewish alike! Email Carly at clevinsa@oberlin.edu for more information.
