I am thankful for the CJL because it has given me both a home and a vast array of new paths to explore.
The CJL has strengthened my Jewish identity by helping me make Judaism my own. College is a defining time in so many peoples’ lives, and the CJL provided me with the support to nurture my Jewish identity but also the space and opportunities to define Judaism for myself. In large part because of its student-led nature, the CJL has helped me and countless others confront our Judaism as individuals seeking both truth and tradition, challenging us to ask more questions and helping us find our answers.
