About US
A Brief History:
The Jewish Cultural Coalition is an initiative that has been in the works since August 2020. When USG Senate Resolution 05 passed, it catalyzed the creation of a coalition specifically for Jewish Students in order to unite them all under one common name and goal. Different Jewish leaders from a variety of Jewish organizations on campus have worked tirelessly throughout the 2020-2021 school year to create the coalition, and as of March 2021, the coalition has officially been established.
The Jewish Cultural Coalition, which will also be referred to as the JCC, is designed to be an inclusive organization in which ALL Jewish students are able to address their concerns, have their voices heard, and find their place in the Jewish community. While some people may not feel that the Jewish organizations on campus are right for them, the JCC is designed to be adaptable and fitting to everyone.
We urge all members of the Jewish Community to get personally involved in the JCC in order to stay updated on events and hot topics within the Jewish Community, meet leadership and other Jewish individuals, address any and all concerns they may have as a Jewish student on campus, and become more active members of the community.

Our Purpose:
The purpose of this organization shall be to provide a safe space for Jewish students to celebrate and embrace their diverse Jewish identities, provide resources for Jewish students to connect with their heritage, history, and culture, create a united body of Jewish student voices that can stand up against antisemitism, and establish a permanent institutional connection between the Jewish community and the Arizona State University administration. By advocating on behalf of the ASU Jewish community the Jewish Cultural Coalition will strive to ensure that every Jewish student has the opportunity to pursue their education in a constructive and inclusive environment.
