The Center for Jewish Living

The Center for Jewish Living is an entirely student-run organization comprised of a residence hall and a programming board dedicated to running campus-wide religious, social and cultural events. Together with Cornell Dining, the CJL is proud to be a partner in the fabulous Kosher Dining program at Cornell. Most importantly, the CJL is a warm and inviting community that is a home away from home for countless students.

As idealistic college students, we are building in the CJL our vision of what an ideal Jewish community should look like. Here, we try to avoid labels: we don't see our fellow students as Orthodox, Conservative or Reform; we see them as David, Rachel or Adam - as who they are as individuals. This has fostered a community which is fluid and tolerant, yet committed to the beauty of the Jewish tradition. The CJL is the Cornell Jewish community center in which students can comfortably grow socially, intellectually and spiritually.
