What is Jewish Club?
The Knox Jewish Club is an organization devoted to an understanding of Judaism and Jewish culture. It's a place for Jewish students to meet each other, and for non-Jewish students to learn about Judaism in a non-classroom setting.
Acknowledging the diversity of religious and cultural traditions represented at Knox, the Jewish Club encourages open discussion and promotes mutual understanding and respect within the Knox Community. In past years, the Jewish Club has sponsored or participated in a variety of activities, including the following:
Shabbat dinners
Speakers and films on such subjects as the Holocaust, religious observance, Soviet Jewry, Israel, Arab-Israeli relations, intermarriage
Knox's International Fair, more commonly known as I-fair
Leading Friday evening services at Galesburg's synagogue, Temple Sholom
Passover Seders
While continuing these sorts of activities, the club is always open to new suggestions. Let us know what your interests are!
