Welcome to the JRP Website!

The Jewish Renaissance Project (JRP) is about you, your interests, your friends and your Jewish identity! JRP is an alternative choice for Penn students who want to figure out what Judaism means in a sophisticated and intellectually open way with other people who look and talk just like you.

JRP isn't about someone telling you the right answers, and it isn't about sitting passively and learning what Judaism has to say. It's about finding your own answers and getting the chance to find your own Jewish voice. JRP isn't a club you join. It's a network of friends who create the social, intellectual, political and spiritual events that focus on the issues that matter with the people who matter.

JRP programs are diverse and cover any way that you could want to explore your Judaism. There are 9 different initiatives that are designed for freshmen, Greek students, upperclassmen who live off-campus and everyone else in between.

Just take a look below at the incredible range of things going on in JRP.

• Alternative Spring Break
• Beyond Birthright: Bringing the Experience to Penn
  
• Campus Entrepreneurs Initiative (CEI)
• Jewish Life Liaisons (JLLs)
• Jewish Off-Campus Initiative (JOCI)
