JHP has exported its model to campuses across the U.S. JHP chapters serve as resources to their respective Chabad houses and ensure more students maintain Jewish connections in college. Currently, JHP maintains active chapters at Temple University, Drexel, Penn State, University of Michigan, University of Texas at Austin, Vanderbilt University and Florida Atlantic University.
Throughout each semester we offer social events, Jewish holiday celebrations, guest speaker meetings and mentor opportunities.
“This past Monday night, I had the opportunity to listen to and learn from three Jewish professionals, Rich, Daniel, and Haley. They shared valuable insight on how AI and the rapid flow of information are shaping today’s business world, while also emphasizing the importance of staying open to different experiences as you figure out your path. Most importantly, the conversation reinforced the importance of putting yourself out there and building relationships through JBN and other networking opportunities.”

“What’s made the Jewish Heritage Program so impactful for me is the way it builds from a shared Jewish foundation into real conversations and relationships. Listening to different speakers and connecting with them has been both genuinely interesting and motivating, pushing me to think more intentionally about where I’m headed”.
Charlie Gruber, class of 2028, Vanderbilt
“Last week’s meeting stuck out to me because it’s kind of unique to hear the perspective of a proud Jew in our community and what it means to be a Jew in the modern climate. I think we all strive to be more proud Jews so when we see someone so passionate about his faith it makes you appreciate everything more.”
Lucas Wuertele, class of 2029, Michigan
