JOFA is partnering with Hillels on college campuses to bring dynamic and exciting programs to their Jewish student bodies. The goals of the programs are:

• To help campuses with large Jewish student bodies create a forum for open dialogue about Jewish issues in an environment respectful of diversity.
• To help create, and allow for, a space for Jewish feminist thought and practices, for both men and women, within the campus community. 

If you are interested in bringing one of JOFA's college programs to your campus community contact us at
888-550-JOFA or rori.picker@jofa.org.
