Jewish Law Students Association

The Harvard Jewish Law Students Association (JLSA) is a cultural, social, educational, and religious organization that reflects the varied interests of the Jewish student community of Harvard Law School. The organization consists of more than 300 HLS students, Boston-area graduate school students, and others who are interested in Jewish legal affairs or the affairs of the Jewish community at Harvard Law School.

Over the past few years our events have included a Boston Harbor boat cruise, a kosher wine tasting, a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream social, smores in the sukkah, two Jewish learning series, a film series, a Law School-wide Shabbat dinner, and a dinner to benefit Darfur co-sponsored with several other campus groups. In addition, we have hosted countless speakers, both from the Harvard community and well beyond.

Many of our programs are co-sponsored by other Harvard Law School groups and groups at other Harvard graduate schools. We also enjoy support and resources from Harvard Hillel and the Chabad House at Harvard.
