The Jewish Learning Fellowship (JLF) is an 8 week experiential, conversational seminar for students looking to deepen their understanding of Judaism on their own terms.
We are proud to say that 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. Dinner is provided each week, and you will also earn a $300 stipend upon completion of the course. No previous Jewish learning experience necessary!
