Jewish students are very prominently involved in Student Government, Residence Hall life, the campus newspaper, and every part of campus life. Our facility is prominently located on campus and offers wireless internet, game rooms with pool tables, foosball, air hockey, and more, a sports bar with food and 7 television sets including a 61-inch plasma, and a daily kosher meal plan. We offer Jewish learning at all levels. There are major programs surrounding all Jewish holidays, in November we hold `Israel Awareness Month` and UF designates March as Jewish Awareness Month when special daily programs and high-profile speakers are brought to campus.
