With opportunities for engagement for Jewish students of all traditions and denominations, DePaul Jewish Life has something for everyone!  DePaul Jewish Life is the center for all Jewish student activity on campus. We coordinate with Jewish community partners and institutions within Chicago to create a dynamic and amazing Jewish experience for our students.  Whether celebrating Jewish holidays together, exploring Jewish perspectives and topics, or meeting one-on-one with our campus ministry staff, DePaul students can engage in religious life in meaningful and innovative ways.
