Something special is happening at JLIC Columbia/Barnard.
Every day, students are choosing to engage more deeply with their Jewish identity—seeking connection, meaning, and a sense of belonging. From packed Shabbat tables to thoughtful one-on-one conversations, JLIC has become a true home for hundreds of students on campus.
We are there for it all: the late-night questions, the coffee chats that turn into lasting mentorship, the Torah learning that sparks growth, and the warm, welcoming environment where every student can feel comfortable being themselves.
