Jewish Faculty Resilience Group (JFRG) Community Application Form

The Jewish Faculty Resilience Group (JFrg) at UCLA is a non-partisan, grassroots organization committed to creating a safe and inclusive space for Zionist Jewish faculty, staff, and postdocs. Dedicated to addressing antisemitism and anti-Zionism on campus, JFrg empowers members to drive meaningful change, advocate for equality, and foster a stronger, more united Jewish community at UCLA.

The purpose of this application is to gather accurate contact information and better understand:

What you hope to gain or contribute as a member, volunteer, or supporter of the JFrg community,
Potential opportunities to identify future team members and leaders, and
Whether your values align with ours, ensuring a comfortable and meaningful fit within our community.

For security reasons, we may review social media and published content, and a JFrg representative may reach out to you directly. We encourage you to visit our website to learn more about our mission and values.

In these challenging times marked by rising antisemitism, we appreciate your understanding. Thank you for your interest and cooperation as we work together to build a stronger, more united community.
