Jewish life at Earlham?

<p>D is a junior, and we are beginning to research small liberal arts colleges. We read about Earlham and were intrigued; the descriptions of the student body seem to fit with D--but we would like to find out information about the existence and quality of Jewish life at the school.</p>

<p>If anyone can provide this information, we would appreciate it!</p>

<p>Earlham has a Jewish Cultural Center that hosts Shabbat dinners each week. Here's a link to the campus ministry site, from which you can link to the JCC:
<a href="http://www.earlham.edu/%7Esas/ministry/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.earlham.edu/%7Esas/ministry/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>My D is starting there as a freshman next week so we don't have any first-hand experience with the JCC.</p>

<p>Suzy, I assume by your response that you are Jewish? If so, was the amount/quality of Jewish life a significant consideration in your d's college search or more of a minor one?</p>

<p>You can send me a private email if you would prefer. Thanks for your response.</p>

<p>bump if you please</p>

<p>I heard somewhere that there was a klezmer band at Earlham and-or in Richmond. might be more of an informal thing than a permanent thing.</p>
