Website Mission Membership Benefits

Mission
The JBSA fosters Jewish life at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business by offering cultural, social, religious, and educational activities to the Booth Jewish community, including partners, family, and friends.

Membership Benefits
Social Gatherings
The JBSA holds multiple social events each quarter, where you can have fun and get to know your fellow members. Our quarterly Shabbat dinners are a fun opportunity to take a break from the busy week of classes and recruiting.  Previous events have included bowling nights, BBQs, and happy hours.

Cultural Activities
In the fall, celebrate Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur with JBSA. In the spring, get ready to party it up with JBSA for Purim and enjoy a memorable seder for Pesach. We also celebrate Israeli Independence Day and observe other important holidays.

Thought-Provoking Speakers
JBSA brings speakers to campus to share their thoughts and provoke conversation on a range of topics, from Jews in business to Holocaust education.

Note for E/W students: JBSA events are usually held either at a Loop location or at Harper Center.
