Only kosher food can be brought onto the campus.
Where we study

Where we hang out
There are indoor and outdoor places for formal and informal social gatherings both on the academic and the residential campuses. Maayan’s Corner on the academic campus is an artistic outdoor space commemorating a graduate who was lost in a tragedy. Classes, activities and casual socializing all take place in this area. The academic campus has both real and synthetic grass, picnic tables, and a variety of outdoor corners where it is common to find students spending time between classes. Additionally, the residential campus has bench swings, lawns, lounges and community rooms that are used for both programmed activities and casual social time.
Community agricultural projects
There are two greenhouses on campus where students can participate in agricultural projects both for classwork or for volunteering hours. One of the greenhouses is for raising and breeding fish which are eventually sold for a small fee. A second greenhouse is currently used for growing lettuce which is also eventually clipped and sold in the local farmer’s market. Students are welcome and encouraged to help with every step of the process.
