JLF: Jewish Learning Fellowship

The Jewish Learning Fellowship: Life's Big Questions is a 9-week discussion group for students looking to deepen your understanding of Judaism on your own terms. 

If you’re interested in building friendships, creating community, and asking big questions. You know, the big stuff —like Who am I? What communities am I a part of? What is worth committing myself to, and why? We make no claims about the “right” way to practice or not to practice Judaism. Our job is to help you explore the tradition in a safe space and find your own place. At the end of the Cohort there will be an ending ceremony (Siyyum) on December 7th at 5PM.

Kol Yisrael: Pluralism

Kol Yisrael: is a 6-week cohort learning experience where students explore big ideas shaping today’s conversations about Israel.

Together, we'll explore what it means to be Israeli, who lives in Israel, what makes Israeli society so diverse, and how different communities shape the country today. Through conversations and Jewish texts, we'll reflect on identity, peoplehood, responsibility, and the many ways Israel connects to Jews around the world.

Perfect for Jewish college students who are curious to learn more about Israel, its people, and what being Israeli really means.
