Alumni

Welcome Back!

The Center for Jewish Living takes great pride in its vast and accomplished alumni network. Whether a part of the Young Israel of Cornell or a more recent member of the CJL, past members share a unique bond through their common experiences at 106 West Avenue. No matter how recently, or not recently, you graduated, we invite you to look around the site and see some of the things that we’ve been busy with on the Hill.

We’re always looking to reconnect with our alumni, forging bonds between past and current members of the CJL community. We hold meet-ups for Alumni and Current students at least twice a year, along with informal gatherings year-round! We also love to see alumni visit for Shabbat or anytime. Explore the sections below to see how you can connect to the CJL and help ensure its longevity.

CJL in NYC

This summer’s meet-up will take place on August 5, 2018. We will first be meeting for a free pizza lunch in Central Park (66th street entrance) at 12:00 pm. After lunch, at around 1:45 pm, we will walk to the Central Park Zoo.

You’re invited to attend one or both parts of the free event.​ Please fill out the RSVP form linked here to let us know which parts you will be attending. If you plan on coming, join the Facebook event to get pertinent information closer to the event.

Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns. We’re looking forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks!

Contribute

In recent years, the CJL community has enjoyed tremendous growth. Membership rates are up and the house is seeing a record number of residents. The house is undergoing constant evolution in response to this influx of members. Renovation projects are in the works to ensure that the CJL is around to serve future generations of the Cornell Jewish community. We need your help to support the growth of our community.
