The Jewish Learning Fellowship (JLF) is a nine-week experiential seminar for undergraduates looking to deepen their understanding of Judaism on their own terms while making friends and having fun.
We will discuss Jewish perspectives on social justice, asking questions like: What do I do when the world is on fire? Who am I responsible for? What do I do when systems fall apart?
We will ask big questions about life but don’t purport to have any of the answers. We make no claims about the “right” way to practice or not to practice Judaism. We are all works in progress, and we hope to provide you the time and space to consider the big questions and find your own answers.
In addition, we will nourish you (plenty of snacks!) and value your time (after completion of the program you will receive a stipend).
Open to all undergraduate students.
