Give Today

You don’t have to be a student to be part of the JLD Family

Parents engage with the Jewish community at Duke in many ways: whether you attend events, support the community or simply stay in touch, we welcome your involvement.

Congratulations on having a Blue Devil in the family! We are excited to have your child as a member of Duke's Jewish community.  We look forward to being able to support you and your student on their journey here at Duke.

Your student can look forward to being a part of a welcoming and inclusive environment with numerous opportunities for engagement in Jewish life on campus. Through Jewish Life at Duke, your student can participate in a variety of Jewish student groups, and explore and celebrate their Jewish identity in many ways.

Our students are our top priority and we strive to support them in every phase of their Duke experience.
