Jewish Life Resource Center

Supporting Community, Education, and Belonging Across UCSF

The Jewish Life Resource Center serves as a campus hub for education, community connection, and support related to Jewish identity, culture, and experiences. Housed within the Office of Opportunity and Outreach’s Climate & Belonging team, this initiative works to foster inclusion, strengthen visibility, and address antisemitism across the UCSF community.

We provide opportunities for learning, engagement, and dialogue for learners, faculty, and staff, while connecting individuals to campus and community-based resources.
