JLF: Life's Big Questions Spring 2024
The Jewish Learning Fellowship (JLF) is an experiential, conversational seminar for students looking to deepen their understanding of Judaism on their own terms.
The topic for this JLF track: Life's Big Questions.
We're asking big questions - and we know there's no one answer. Fellows will meet for 8 weeks during the semester, forming a strong network and cohort together. Tuesdays 4:00-5:30pm beginning February 13th. Sessions will be held in person with snacks provided.
This program is open to all undergraduate students who identify as Jewish.
Registration deadline: February 7th at 11:59 PM.
Fellows who fulfill the expectations of the fellowship earn a $180 stipend at the end of the program. No prior learning or experience is required. Questions? Email Binyamin at binyamin@american.edu!
