Welcome to the Bi-College Jewish Student Union
To say that every member of the Bi-Co JSU walks away with something different learned, with something different gained, would be a vast understatement. Like the general campus populations of Bryn Mawr and Haverford, everyone arrives with varying values, customs, and traditions; honoring this diversity, we come together to form a community which is inclusive, pluralistic and welcoming. No matter what your Jewish identity, you can find a home in the Jewish Student Union. The JSU of Bryn Mawr and Haverford offers a wide variety of activities ranging from tikkun olam service projects to holiday events, social get-togethers, and weekly text study. With all of these activities and events, the common thread of our interest in exploring and deepening our Jewish identities brings the entire JSU community together as one.
The Bi-College JSU is led by a talented student board, with help from the Advisor to Jewish Students, Reconstructionist Rabbinical College student, Isabel de Koninck.
Contact one our our board members or our advisor to get involved today! Check out "Upcoming Haverford Events" in the right hand column to view our calendar.
