Eli L. Diamond '01, for example, adheres to Orthodox law.
He follows rules of kashrut, which limit what and when Jews can eat, and does no work of any form on the Sabbath.
"Everyone has lines they will not cross, and for me, keeping the Sabbath is non-negotiable," Diamond says.
Andrew S. Obus '03, on the other hand, is a Reform Jew. He says attending the Sabbath services often loses out to other commitments.
"Sometimes plays and other events conflict....I usually opt for the plays," Obus says.
Both students, however, attend meals and functions at Hillel. Diamond says he eats dinner at Hillel about five times a week and frequently attends religious services there too.
Obus says he occasionally has meals at Hillel--less because it has kosher food, and more because he enjoys its atmosphere.
