Minyan

There is an Orthodox Minyan 3 times a day organized by a student-run organization called Kedma. Teffila is always a vibrant and exciting time in the CJL shul! Also on Shabbat, Shevach the conservative egalitarian minyan meets and prays in a different location. 

Beit Midrash

The CJL's beautiful Beit Midrash, located in 104West!, is open to all every day. Twice a week the CJL organizes structured learning events with chulent, snacks, and more, and allows students to arrange chavrutas or initiate Jewish learning on campus.

Chagim

Holidays at the CJL are filled with yummy food, ruach, and friends! For each chag, the CJL ensures the Jewish community has full minyanim, kosher food, and a unique atmosphere to make the students' chag experience effortless.
