Cornell’s Center for Jewish Living (CJL) dedicated its newly erected donor wall June 7. Since opening in 1987, the CJL has grown into a center for the Jewish community of Cornell and Ithaca, hosting events, speakers, university programs, offering kosher dining and catering and accommodations for men and women.

The donor wall features a bronze plaque, surrounded by Acacia wood (Shittim), bearing the names of more than 530 donors. More than 100 guests attended the dedication including rabbis (including two who traveled from Israel), Cornell alumni, students, faculty and Ithaca community members.
