Jewish Life at Duke

Jewish Life at Duke (JLD) is the hub for all things Jewish on Duke University’s campus. An accredited Hillel as well as a department within Duke University’s Division of Student Affairs, Jewish Life at Duke is guided by a mission to engage and inspire Jewish students through community building, collaborative ventures, leadership opportunities, and educational experiences. Comprising the Freeman Center for Jewish Life and the Rubenstein-Silvers Hillel, JLD takes a pluralistic approach to Judaism to ensure that all Jewish students, regardless of affiliation, feel welcome and included.

100% of JLD's operating budget comes from donations from parents, alumni, and friends.
