Campus Profile:The Jewish community at Wesleyan is warm, welcoming, and extremely diverse, with students coming from a broad variety of backgrounds. This diversity is best reflected in the range of spiritual, educational, cultural, political, and social activities offered by the various Jewish student organizations and by Rabbi David, the Jewish Chaplain, individuals choose to what extent and in what ways they will be involved in Jewish life and those who participate are under no pressure to conform to any particular style of Jewish expression. The input and creativity of all members of the community are always welcomed by the various Jewish student organizations. http://www.wesleyan.edu/chaplains/jewish/
