Interested? Fill out this short form.

The Jewish Learning Fellowship (JLF) is a 10-week experiential, conversational seminar *for first-year undergraduate students* looking to deepen their understanding of Judaism on their own terms.

We’re interested in 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? And we don’t purport to have any of the big answers...certainly not for anyone else. All participants who attend all of the sessions will receive a a $250 Amazon gift card!

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.


Folks are invited to grab food beforehand from the kosher dining hall at Hillel (on the undergraduate meal plan) and bring it up to the library. Our dates are:

Class Dates:
