The Jewish Learning Fellowship (JLF) is a paid, one-semester fellowship in which you will deepen your understanding of Judaism, meet new people, and explore big ideas. This class will explore some of life’s big questions, including those related to community, commitment, friendship, and intimacy. We will try to explore the often complex questions with which we are faced upon our arrival at college in a way that enables us to find our own answers, but also to ask even more big questions. Our approach is open-minded and non-judgmental.
