Jewish Infrastructure

There are so many different organizations and ways to get involved in Jewish life no matter what denomination you are or what beliefs you hold-at Madison there is a Jewish home for everyone!

Safety & Comfort

Very comfortable overall considering the strength and sense of connection with the Jewish community here, despite the antisemitism that is fairly prevalent.

Kosher Food

I do not keep kosher so I will only share from what I know and others experiences: there is a kosher cafe in the Hillel and kosher food at different Jewish organizations.

Community

An incredible Jewish presence and community-truly feel so grateful for the vast Jewish opportunities and connections here!!

Religious Life

I do not live a religious lifestyle but from what I know and others experiences: the school seems to be accommodating with religious needs and there are some resources to help someone navigate living a religious life on campus.
