Trimester 1:
Jew U - Rabbi Aaron Sataloff
We will begin to explore what it means to be Jewish in college and beyond. How might being Jewish on campus affect our social lives, our spiritual lives, and even our choice of major? We will discuss issues including continuing our Jewish education, advocating for Israel on campus, coping with antisemitism, and navigating the many organizations on college campuses devoted to connecting us to our Judaism.

Trimester 2:
Preparing for Life on Campus: The Complexities of Jewish Identity and Israel - Kate Chavez, StandWithUs and Carol Jacobson, AIPAC
There is a concerted effort on college campuses today to delegitimize and demonize Israel. This class will discuss the methods used by those who seek to destroy the Jewish State, and how we can respond to their tactics with facts and logic. We will also discuss the difference between legitimate criticism of Israel and the unacceptable campaign against Israel by those who would deny its right to exist.

Trimester 3:
Senior Seminar - Rabbi David Lyon, Rabbi Brian Strauss & Rabbi Ranon Teller
College is a place where one’s values and priorities are frequently challenged. Some non-Jews may challenge your Jewishness. Some Jews will challenge the kind of Jew you are. Some students will attack your support of Israel. Some people will question how you can be so liberal or how you can be so conservative. We will look at some of the biggest challenges you’ll hear from other students and talk about when and how to respond. (Sessions A & B)
