What is JLF?

Purdue Hillel was recently selected as one of Hillel International’s campuses to host the prestigious Jewish Learning Fellowship (JLF). JLF is a 10-week experiential, conversational cohort for students looking to deepen their understanding of Judaism on their own terms. We’re interested in asking big questions. You know, the big stuff — like, Who am I? What communities am I a part of? What is worth committing myself to? And why?

​

Upon the full completion of JLF, each Fellow will receive a $300 scholarship for participation, participate in a JLF graduation ceremony, and have access to Hillel International’s JLF Alumni Network of more than 14,000 graduates of JLF around the world.

• Jewish students currently enrolled full time at Purdue's West Lafayette campus
• Current sophomores and juniors until the deadline, and then other may apply if space is available
• A genuine interest in an authentic and fun experience, an openness and curiosity for asking big questions in the context of community, and sharing a great dinner with awesome people
