Celebrating 25 Years of the Freeman Center for Jewish Life

The story of the Freeman Center for Jewish Life, the home of Jewish Life at Duke, began in 1986 when Duke alumni sought a space for Jewish students, faculty and staff to call home. With the support of Duke’s then-President, H. Keith H. Brodie, and many other members of administration, staff, and faculty, a public announcement was made to build a center that would serve as a hub for Duke’s Jewish life. The Freeman Center’s groundbreaking ceremony took place on April 4, 1997, with the dedication on October 24, 1999. This academic year, 2024-2025, Jewish Life at Duke is proudly celebrating the 25th anniversary of our beloved campus home.
