Binghamton University maintains an impressive Judaic Studies program, and its Center for Israel Studies offers interested students an opportunity to obtain a minor. More observant students can purchase kosher food at any dining hall at Binghamton, or enjoy hot meals three times a day at the school’s kosher kitchen. The university is closed on Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and the first two days of Passover. Its Hillel supports over a dozen student-led groups, while Chabad hosts 'Shabbat 1800,' described as the largest annual student shabbat meal in the US. Along with that, there are Reform, Conservative, and Orthodox student-led Friday night services. While the school once had an active SJP, the group has since disbanded. "I find myself appalled at what my fellow Jewish students are enduring across the nation because I personally do not endure the same on my own campus," one student wrote in March 2017. "Our African, Asian, Black, Latino, Muslim and Jewish organizations are all intertwined and allied to create a beautiful and holistically accepting student body." (Photo credit: Wikipedia.)
