About The Perelman Center for Jewish Life

Join us in the founding of the Perelman Center for Jewish Life housing the Lubavitch House at Penn and the Steinhardt/Cayne Jewish Heritage Programs (JHP). For almost thirty years, these programs have established a track record of excellence. They reach thousands of students across the country, creating strong and lasting connections to their Jewish roots. Lubavitch House and JHP have been successful in attracting many who are only marginally connected to their heritage but are now enthusiastic and involved in their Jewishness.

Our temporary home, The Provost House of the University of Pennsylvania, was campus residence for the chief executive officer of the University, the Provost, was built in 1903 at 4037 Pine Street. The University restored the house as the Provost's living space. The University sold the building but repurchased it again in the late 1970s is on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places.
