Smokler Center for Jewish Studies (Hillel)

The Smokler Center for Jewish Life, Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Building is Baltimore's first free-standing Hillel facility, offering students a multitude of ways to become involved in Jewish life. Students can relax in the Phi Sigma Delta Lounge, plan programs in the Student Leadership Suite, play games in the Commons, study and read in the Library and pray in the Beit Midrash. The 16,000-square-foot building also houses kosher meat and dairy kitchens, classroom and program space, an outdoor terrace, conference rooms, a multipurpose room, and staff and student offices.

The center, which opened in April 2004, is named for alumnus Irving Smokler and his wife, Carol, who in 1999 made a generous contribution launching a campaign for the project. The building is also named for the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation, which committed funding designated for construction and a challenge grant for the center's endowment.
