JEC-U


JEC-U is the education wing of the Jewish Enrichment Center, partnered with The Alumni Community, New York's Primary Provider of Birthright Israel Post Programming. Our goal is to strengthen Jewish identity and community.
Spring Semester starts May 20th!
LEARN
JEC-U offers thought-provoking courses on a wide range of Jewish topics. Knowledge is strength; you can't pass on what you don't know.
Our program is broken into semesters that last either 5 weeks. Courses within each semester are offered on different evenings of the week. We've recently added an early morning and midday class. Completion of a certain number of courses will bring you closer towards a JEC-U trip.
Building community is an important part of the JEC-U program. All students are invited for a light dinner and drinks to catch up with friends before the class begins.
FLY
Clarity is cumulative: getting the full picture will allow you to see the bigger picture. We created an incentive program to keep your commitment strong. Complete the semesters necessary to earn "miles" towards a JEC-U trip. So far we have had amazing trips to Prague and Israel.
Can't commit? No problem. Take classes at your convenience.
