From Sukkot to May 4: A Student Remembrance Walk

Monday, 13 October, 2025 -
5:00 pm to 6:30 pm
Hillel Cohn Jewish Student Center

Kent State students are invited to gather at Hillel for a festive Sukkot meal and celebration of community. Together, we’ll decorate remembrance rocks for Ushpizin—welcoming ancestors and loved ones into the sukkah—before walking to the May 4 Visitors Center.

In the Prentice Hall parking lot, we’ll place our rocks during a meaningful tour that honors the spirituality and memory of the three Jewish students whose lives were lost on May 4, 1970.

Program begins at Hillel and concludes with an outdoor tour of the May 4 Visitors Center National Historic Landmark Site.
