<p>What is Jewish life like at Pomona and the 5Cs?</p>
<p>More specifically...
What % of the student body is Jewish? Is the Hillel active? Are there Hebrew/Judaica classes offered? Is there study abroad in Israel? What is campus opinion like on the current situation in Israel/Gaza?</p>
<p>And anything else you think might be relevant.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I'm not Jewish, but I know a lot of Jewish students at Pomona and the 5 Cs in general. </p>
<p>Pomona itself does not offer a Jewish Studies major, nor does it offer Hebrew (nor do any of the 5-Cs), but our Religious Studies department has a track in Western Religions and has some Jewish studies scholars. I'd recommend e-mailing the department and asking what the 5-C's options are for such classes. Here's their department home page:</p>
<p>Pomona</a> College - Religious Studies Department</p>
<p>The Hillel is for all 5 colleges and I know that they are very active on campus. Here's their web address:</p>
<p>Hillel</a> at the Claremont Colleges</p>
<p>Good luck, and sorry I can't offer you any more concrete answers.</p>
<p>You might be able to find more concrete statistics for the Jewish population in Claremont here: </p>
<p>It's hard to get campus opinion on current events, as Pomona's been on break since early December, but Pomona has a very active Jewish community. There is at least one study abroad program in Israel.</p>
