While there is no replacing the experiences and college community you could have with OU-JLIC, we understand sometimes a non-OU-JLIC campus can be the best fit or most practical choice. You should realize that not all the options are the same – some have kosher food and some don’t, some have Chabad and some don’t, some have other religious students and at others you’ll be on your own. Being connected to an Orthodox community is critical to leading a Jewish lifestyle on campus, so if you don’t have an OU-JLIC at your college of choice (or even if you do) be sure to check out Yavneh on Campus. Yavneh is a movement of religious college students changing the face of Jewish communal life: connecting Jews to meaningful Jewish life, vibrant communities, and to each other – all through peer-based relationships, intimate Jewish experiences and innovative community building and programming. Yavneh offers fellowships, Shabbatonim, grants, virtual Torah learning opportunities and a nationwide network of support. Additionally, always try and stay in touch with your rabbis or Judaics teachers from high school and Israel.
