Jewish Learning

Figuring out who you are and how you want to be Jewish is a core part of our mission at Hillel of San Diego. Through an array of learning opportunities, you can connect with new friends and find your Jewish story.

* All programs are open to all students across San Diego. The school identified in the listing represents where the program is based.

Jewish Learning Fellows (JLF)

  • UCSD & SDSU
  • 8 to 10 weeks
  • Students receive stipend

The Jewish Learning Fellowship (JLF) is an 8 to 10 week experiential, conversational seminar for students looking to deepen their understanding of Judaism on their own terms. We’re interested in asking big questions. You know, stuff like - Who am I? What communities am I a part of? What is worth committing myself to, and why? And while we don’t purport to have any of the big answers, ​​we hope that you can discover a bit about yourself in the process. We make no claims about the “right” way to practice or not practice Judaism. Our job is to help you explore our tradition in a safe space and find your own place, on your terms, in Judaism’s Great Conversation. If this already doesn’t sound too good to be true - we will also pay you a small stipend to participate!

Classes Offered:

  • JLF at UCSD Winter- Life's Big Questions
  • JLF at SDSU Spring- Life's Big Questions
