Seif Jewish Learning Initiative on Campus: The program, operating in coordination with Hillel: The Foundation for Jewish Student Life and the Orthodox Union, features study of Jewish texts, Sabbath and holiday observance, daily synagogue services, mentoring and good companionship and is dedicated to the enhancement of Orthodox communities (kehilot) on campus by promoting positive growth and identity among Jewish students, therefore serving as one of the incubators of the future of Orthodoxy. The program is open to all Jewish students, regardless of level of observance.

JLIC contributes to a setting to help Jewish students feel comfortable in an atmosphere on secular campuses that maybe different from what they experienced in their pre-college Jewish educations. Through the easy availability of Torah study daily, Shabbat and holiday synagogue services and kosher food, together with counseling and interaction with their peers, Jewish students find a haven at where their previous Jewish experiences are transferred to the campus while at the same time they are participating in the academic life of their college.

Rabbi Eli Kohl and Naomi Kohl in partnership with the Orthodox Union, this dynamic couple offers personal and group learning opportunities.
