Jewish Learning Fellowship (JLF) – Coming Spring Semester

The Jewish Learning Fellowship (JLF) is a unique, discussion-based course where you can deepen your understanding of Judaism, connect with new people, and wrestle with life’s biggest questions. Together, we’ll explore ideas about community, commitment, friendship, intimacy, and more—through an open-minded, non-judgmental lens that encourages curiosity and conversation.

JLF is more than a class—it’s a chance to share meals, build lasting friendships, and receive a small stipend for your participation.

JLF 2 – Coming Spring

Have you taken JLF1 before? You’ll love this next offering! JLF 2 builds on the Jewish Learning Fellowship JLF1 experience by introducing students to the animating ideas of Jewish identity and creating space to reflect on what role Israel plays in their own Jewish journey. Together, we’ll explore contemporary, biblical, and rabbinic sources, as well as the insights of today’s leading thinkers, to ask big questions about peoplehood, identity, and belonging.

This fellowship isn’t about giving simple answers—it’s about curiosity, open conversation, and beginning to shape a thoughtful relationship to Israel as part of Jewish adulthood.
