In an exciting program, OU Kosher has joined with JLI to educate students on many kashrut issues that arise while on campus. The programs have been well attended and students emerged with a better understanding of how to engage with certain kashrut dilemmas that they encounter on a daily basis. Topics discussed on various campuses included what one can order in Starbucks, issues when traveling abroad to Europe, Africa, and Asia, and dealing with grocery store salad bars. It presented an incredible opportunity and forum for students to ask all of their questions about keeping kosher. Among the campuses to participate in this program were UCLA, Princeton, Johns Hopkins University, and Harvard University, who heard from OU speakers Rabbi Shore, Rabbi Richard Levine, and Rabbi Gershon Segal.
“We think the program was fantastic….The presentation was interesting and relevant, and the students asked lots of questions.”
-Sara Wolkenfeld, JLIC educator at Princeton University.
