The ABC’s of Jewish Life in College
What is the difference between Hillel and Chabad? How can I go to Israel at minimal cost all four years? What are the pros and cons of Jewish fraternities and sororities? What are the pro-Israel organizations? What are the BDS organizations? What other organizations exist that I have never heard of? This program will give rising college students a lay of the land in terms of Jewish organizations on campus. In short, whatever a meaningful Jewish life beyond living with your parents means to you we want to help you find it! This program is designed for high school seniors heading off to college as well as sophomores and juniors who are starting their college lists.
