Jewish Students
Jewish Life at the University of Dayton
In seeking to support students of all faiths, Campus Ministry maintains connections with local synagogues and supports the Jewish Student Union in their efforts to celebrate Jewish life on campus.
Student Organizations
The Jewish Student Union is a student organization that connects Jewish students and fosters community through programs for both Jewish students and the larger University of Dayton community.
The Jewish Student Union brings Jews on campus together to promote Jewish life, cultivate connections between Jewish students and the community, as well as represent a Jewish voice in interfaith relations. Previous programs include celebrating Sukkot on the Humanities Plaza and sharing a Passover Seder at the President's Residence.
Dining
There are currently no kosher-certified dining options available on campus. All dining locations have vegetarian options available, however they are not strictly dedicated vegetarian and therefore some cross-contamination may occur.
Campus Connections
Jewish faculty and staff provide hospitality and resources for students during high holidays and more. To get connected, contact Dr. Sam Dorf, sdorf1@udayton.edu or
Dr. Masha Kisel mkislel1@udayton.edu.
