JEC-U


Spring Semester starts the week of April 23rd!
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 6 or 7 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.
