Welcome
The Coalition of Hopkins Activists for Israel (CHAI) is an entirely student-run group that meets weekly in the Hillel building. Founded in 2001, CHAI is the only Israel advocacy group at Johns Hopkins University. CHAI is a non-partisan, non-religious club committed to advocating for Israel's right to a peaceful existence as a Jewish Democratic State. Hosting events such as Israel Fair 2008, which was held on campus in Levering Court and was a great success, CHAI is dedicated to spreading awareness and educating the greater student body about Israel's politics, history and culture. Other such events have included professor lectures, the screening of educational films and documentaries and lobbying trips to D.C. In addition to organizing these events, the group meetings also serve as a forum for students who wish to participate in discussions or become informed about current events.
Weekly Meeting
Please join us for our weekly meeting every Tuesday night at 8:00PM at the Hillel building unless otherwise specified.
Upcoming Events
March 26th, Charles Commons Banquet Room A, Time 8:00 pm Amy Oppenheimer’s video: The Faces of Israel
Faces of Israel is an exciting and interactive documentary intended for a wide audience, from shul-goers to university and high school students to unaffiliated members of the Jewish community. The film poses a series of questions on hot topics surrounding what it means to live in both a Jewish and democratic state. It answers these questions through interviews with Israelis ranging from openly gay secular university students to leaders in the Conservative movement to Ultra-Orthodox Jews, including exclusive footage with Israel’s Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi.
