​The Eighth Annual Commonwealth Kiddush Cup:
​November 29 - December 9th at 8 p.m.

Once a year, Brody Jewish Center young alum work together to give back to the BJC while competing to beat Hillel at Virginia Tech. It's called the Commonwealth Kiddush Cup. The Cup models the actual Commonwealth Cup, with teams vying for 15 points (more about this below.)

Last year young alum and families helped raise more than $90,000 for Hillel at UVA. It was a very special year, and we hope we can replicate some of its success! 
The Rules:
  • Only parents of young alumni, young alumni, and current students from are eligible to have their donations counted toward winning points. Eligible class years for young alum are 2003-2025.
  • Are you both a first-time donor and an undergraduate student? Good news - your donation counts toward winning a point in both categories! 
  • An Alumni Gathering is your space to feel the Hillel community wherever you're currently living! Any in-person or virtual gathering of at least 4 UVA Hillel young alumni counts as a satellite event. Submit a screenshot for proof to help your team win the points. Click here to submit your event!
