Jewish Student Union




What is JSU? What is Hillel? What is Chabad? What is the Jewish community like on campus? How big is it? What happens on Friday night and Shabbat? I’m not Orthodox. What are my options for Shabbat? How can I get involved in Jewish programs on campus? What’s the Israel community like on campus? Is there anti-Israel sentiment on campus? Is kosher food available on and off campus? Are professors accommodating in terms of holiday observances? Are there nearby synagogues? Can I teach Hebrew School/Sunday School at nearby synagogues or temples? What are the Jewish learning opportunities on campus?			JSU is Wash U’s Jewish Student Union. It is an umbrella organization composed of over 20 Jewish groups on campus. JSU is also the largest student group within Wash U’s Student Union (more information about the Student Union – SU – is available at www.su.wustl.edu). More information on each individual group is available here: http://www.washujsu.com/studentgroups.php. JSU holds general board meetings, which are open to everyone, twice each month. Everyone is welcome to attend, and JSU group contacts are required to attend. Both Hillel and Chabad staff members act as advisors to specific JSU groups, and Hillel staff members act as advisors to JSU.
