Jewish Dorm Activity Programmers

Want to be a J-DAP Jewish Dorm Activity Programmers or J-DAPs are individuals who create exciting, innovating programs in the dorms once monthly. Each J-DAP works with the RA system in their assigned halls and a Hillel supervisor (currently the JCSC Fellow Zarra Keith) to develop a Jewish presence in the residence halls. The programmers are chosen from qualified undergraduates who have attained at least a sophmore standing. Programs respond to the needs of the particular residence halls and are open to the entire community. Programs may include an intercultural coffee house, a trip to a Jewish play, latke making, a Shabbat program, or anything which the J-DAP and supervisor find to be appropriately engaging. Click the link to access the J-DAP application. The application must be submitted via email to Zarra (fellow@muhillel.org) by Friday, September 15, 2006 at 5 pm. Email Zarra with any questions.
