Reform
Kesher is NYU’s home for Reform-style, progressive, egalitarian, and inclusive Jewish life. Kesher means connection, which is why creating a welcoming community is at the heart of what we do. We hope to see you at our spiritually uplifting Shabbat, or at one of our many events throughout the year.

Conservative
Kehillah means community! We're traditional, we're egalitarian, we're completely student-run. Join us for joyous conservative-style services every Friday night!

Orthodox
Shalhevet is the go-to student organization for Modern Orthodox university students. We provide students with daily minyanim, Shabbat programming and meals, weekly education opportunities, and more! Our doors are open to anyone, regardless of background or belief, who wants to experience Modern Orthodox life on campus.
