Club Chai: Bi-Co Jewish faculty and Staff Alliance

We are faculty and staff members from Haverford College and Bryn Mawr College.

We hold different positions regarding American politics and Israeli politics, but we all share the following four commitments:
​
A. We see the state of Israel and the land of Zion as part of our Jewish identity, and oppose any
    attempts to reduce Judaism to merely a religion.
​​​
B. Expand Jewish life on campus through social and educational events.

C. Fighting antisemitism on campus (whether it emerges from students, faculty, staff, or college
    leadership), and providing support for Jewish faculty, staff, and students when they experience antisemitism.
​
D. Strengthen relations between the Jewish community of the bi-co institutions – Haverford College
    and Bryn Mawr College – and the Jewish community of Lower Merion and Philadelphia.

Our mission is to create a welcoming and inclusive space for Zionist students, fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment. Join us in building a strong community where every voice is heard and valued.
