The Greenbaum Center for Jewish Life

Imagine this:

Imagine a place at the University of Rochester where Jewish students, faculty, staff, and community members can gather, celebrate, and strengthen their Jewish heritage and traditions together.

We’re ready to start building such a place. Thanks to the generosity of David Greenbaum ’73, his wife Laureine, and their $3.5 million pledge, the Greenbaum Center for Jewish Life is becoming a reality.

As part of a larger new Student Life Building, the Center will also contribute to a shared campus hub for connection, belonging, and engagement. Aligned with Boundless Possibility, the University’s strategic plan, this project will strengthen Jewish life while enhancing the student experience for our entire University community.

The Greenbaum Center for Jewish Life will create a much-needed space for our Jewish students to celebrate, learn, connect, and grow. Learn more here!
