Jewish Learning Fellowship (JLF)
What is JLF?
JLF provides a semester of intellectual and experiential learning for students looking to deepen their understanding of Judaism. This semester we are offering Life's Big Questions
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, Jewishly.
What is the time commitment?
JLF meets once a week, for 10 weeks, for an hour and a half. It is open to students who are on campus or at home virtually. And for those in Athens, we'll feed you. You have to eat sometime, right? Additionally, fellows earn a $200 stipend at the end of the semester.
How "Jewish" do you have to be for JLF?
Hillel is a pluralistic, non-denominational organization. That means that we don't believe that there is just "one right way to be Jewish" - the goal of JLF isn't to make you "more religious" or "less religious," but to give you a space to explore what being Jewish could mean to you with a community of interesting and fun people. Put simply, we want you to ask “big questions” about being Jewish, not give you “big answers.”
I'm into this, what do I do now?
Applications for JLF will be accepted on a rolling basis through Friday October 9th, and we urge you to apply as soon as possible - spots fill up quickly. You can apply using our Fall 2020 JLF Application
