Welcome, UAF Students!

Whether you’re here for your first semester or already deep into your UAF journey, we want you to know:

You’ve got a Jewish home right here in Fairbanks.

At our Jewish Center, we’re here to support you—in school, in life, and in community. Come and connect with other Jewish students, celebrate traditions, ask big questions, or just enjoy a warm Shabbat Meal.

What We Offer:

  • Shabbat Meals– Warm, home-cooked meals and meaningful conversation every Friday night during the Winter. During the summer, we host Shabbat lunches on Saturdays.  

 

  • Monthly Shabbat Morning Services – Join us once a month for a spirited and welcoming Shabbat morning service, followed by a delicious Kiddush luncheon. It's a wonderful way to pray, connect, and recharge.
     

  • Holiday Services & Events – From Rosh Hashanah to Purim to Sukkot, we provide inspiring, accessible experiences for the whole family. Stay tuned for upcoming seasonal events on base.
     

  • Torah Learning & Jewish Education – Personalized learning for all ages and backgrounds, including Hebrew reading, Jewish holidays, philosophy, and more.
     

  • Life-Cycle Support –
     

    • Baby Namings & Bris Ceremonies

    • Bereavement Support

                      We’ll help organize, officiate, or simply be by your side.
