The CJL has enabled students who keep kosher to eat without separating themselves as in the previous kosher facility. The schedule is full of events study breaks, movies, classes, lectures. The resources are such that a student can realize pretty much any activity or event that he or she proposes. Of course, the CJL also runs many programs aimed specifically at Jews. Having the new building has made an incredible difference.
Jewish students are now both distinct and better integrated into the college community as a whole.
It's been everything we had hoped it would be. Students and recent alumni also appear to have nothing but praise for the CJL, Rabbi Diamond, and the university's unqualified commitment to the Jewish student community. Alumna Liora Bednarsh, '93, spends Shabbat at the CJL several times a year with her husband, a 92' alum, where they teach classes to Princeton students. The relations between Jews of different movements are strong because there is so much interaction at the Center. I would recommend Princeton to any prospective student interested in an active Jewish life.
