The Jewish Learning Fellowship is Back

August 27, 2021

Submitted By: Emma Strumpf

The Jewish Learning Fellowship (JLF) is a 10-week immersive experience that explores life's big questions, for students looking to deepen their understanding of Judaism on their own terms. Each cohort meets virtually once a week for about an hour, so it’s not a huge time commitment. We’re interested in asking big questions. You know, the big stuff — such as, how honest do I have to be in a friendship? How do I explore intimacy in college? Is there a way to disagree productively? How do I make time for balancing work and my own rest? And many more. This program is an opportunity to learn a little, meet new friends, and explore Jewish community on our campus.

We're proud to say that 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, on your terms, in Judaism’s Great Conversation. There will be two cohorts available:

Cohort 1: Life's Big Questions - For first-time JLF fellows (Weeknight, Time TBD)

Cohort 2: Life's Big Questions- For first time JLF fellows (Sunday, Time TBD)

Cohort 2: Life's Bigger Questions - For returning JLF fellows (Date and Time TBD)

As a Jewish Learning Fellow, we'll invite you to coffee, spend a Shabbat together, and help you feel connected to next steps and alumni offerings after JLF ends.
