BRANDEIS ORTHODOX ORGANIZATION
A Vibrant Orthodox Community on Campus
The Brandeis Orthodox Organization serves the Orthodox community of Brandeis University. As one of the most vibrant observant communities on a college campus, BOO is chartered under the Student Union and associated with Brandeis Hillel. BOO exists to fulfill and further the religious, social, and cultural needs of the Orthodox Jewish population at Brandeis University and is dedicated to the principles of Torah-Halakhic Judaism. We offer social events, educational events, daily minyanim, Shabbat and holiday davening, learning programs, chesed opportunities, and a multitude of ways to get involved in the community!
