JLF is a 10-week experiential, conversational seminar for students looking to deepen their understanding of Jewish life on their own terms. We’re going to ask BIG questions, but we don’t claim to have one “right answer”. JLF is for students that are seeking knowledge and friendship, but requires no previous knowledge or participation in Jewish life - at all. The ideal candidate is just beginning to explore what Jewish life and Jewish culture means to them. It's a great opportunity for new and transfer students.
Every student who attends all 10 sessions, the Shabbat experience, and the end of year graduation will be eligible for $300 stipend or scholarship.

JLF 1.0: Life’s Big Questions
College is not only a time to meet new people or to learn the skills of a profession. It is also a time to explore some of the big questions that orient a life well-lived. Who am I? What communities am I a part of? Who am I responsible for and why? What is the difference between love, lust, and intimacy? What is worth committing myself to and why? While these are universal questions, we believe they can be illuminated through the unique light of Jewish texts and traditions. In this class we will explore the big questions of life as refracted through the Jewish tradition.
JLF 2.0: Big Israel Questions
How might Jewish tradition refract an ethos for the ways in which we engage with the concept of a shared homeland and living in and creating a morally just society for all? For whom are we responsible? What role do we play as authors of a highly personal, and also social-political chapter in history? What do we need to know about compromise and self-preservation? How might we live with intention and in tension with multiple truths? JLF 2.0 is for gradudates of JLF 1.0.
