Chai Society

Our Chai Society has been around for over 50 years. Members of the Chai Society are the key supporters of Jewish life at Texas A&M.  Each member received recognition for their generous support of The Hillel at Texas A&M. Chai Society members are updated regularly by our Executive Director, receive complimentary admission to High Holy Day services and dinners at Hillel, and are invited to Hillel and donor recognition events. Members who donate a minimum of $1,800 receive a complimentary 1-year parking pass to park at Hillel for all Texas A&M home football games. Please note: the Lonestar Showdown is in Austin this year and we will not have parking passes for that game.

The 2025-2026 Chai Society enrollment is now open!

To become a member of Chai Society, you can donate securely online, though our Venmo account, or mail your check to Hillel at Texas A&M, 800 George Bush Dr, College Station, TX 77840. You can also become a member by making monthly credit card or Venmo payments. Simply send us your contact information, including email and phone number, and we will send you a monthly payment link.

A huge thank you to all of our generous donors! We could not do any of this without your support.

Texas A&M Hillel gratefully acknowledges the generosity of the Bar Yadin Family Foundation who partnered with Hillel International to provide matching funds for Hillel Global Giving Week 2025. Thank you to the Bar Yadin family for their commitment to Hillels across the state of Texas.
