It offers a variety of activities for interested members of the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ community out of a restored 1840s heritage villa at 124 Centre Street, beside Kingston's Beth Israel synagogue.
"Hillel House" is the traditional name for Jewish gathering places at universities throughout the world. Hillel was a first-century founder of Rabbinic Judaism, the school of Judaism from which all modern Judaism derives.
