Jewish Learning Fellowship
Join Rabbi Jake for the Jewish Learning Fellowship (JLF). JLF is a 9-week experiential conversational seminar for 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? 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. Fellows will earn a $180.00 stipend. |

Jewish Outreach Groupme
This is for people interested in attending other cultural groups’ events with fellow WaJews (virtually for now, but eventually in person). We promise you won’t be spammed with events—we just want to create a community interested in exploring what other student groups are doing, and particularly in supporting the efforts of other minority groups. |
Groupme Chats
We know that students can build community online just as well as they do in person, which is why our student leaders are working on building cohorts of like-minded WaJews. Check out the groups below and join their Groupme chats to learn more!
