The Office of Student Life also oversees the work of the Va'ad Gemilut Hasadim: Susan and Jack Rudin Center for Community Outreach and the JTS Israel Va'ad.
In addition, Student Life works closely with student organizations and Jewish Life directors in the JTS Residence Halls to organize Jewish cultural and religious programming.
We invite our students to stop by the Billie Rosenthal Rubinoff Center for Student Life on the second-floor of Unterberg to meet with other students, enjoy a snack, and/or study.
