Emet Is There. Every Step of the Way.
For more than 20 years, Emet has helped Jewish college students and young adults discover the meaning, wisdom, and joy of Torah through personal guidance, transformative experiences, and a community that continues long after graduation.
A First Connection Can Become a Lifetime of Connection
It may begin with a conversation over coffee. A Torah class that sparks curiosity. A Shabbat meal that feels like home. A mentor who listens. A community that welcomes.
At Emet, that first moment is only the beginning. Questions become discoveries. New experiences create lasting friendships. As students graduate, begin careers, marry, and build families, Emet continues to offer Torah, mentorship, guidance, and community.
The journey doesn’t end at graduation. Neither does Emet.
Four Divisions. One Continuing Commitment
Emet’s four divisions provide relevant Torah learning, guidance, and community as students’ interests, learning levels, and life stages evolve.
Campus
For many students, the Emet connection begins on campus—with compelling Torah learning, meaningful experiences, new friendships, and educators who take a personal interest in every student.

Men's

Vadim Allayev
“Emet completely changed my life around for the better. It’s a gateway into Judaism that emphasizes truth and makes Judaism intellectually compelling and personally relevant.”
Elizabeth Fattakhov
“Emet is genuinely one of the most important programs out there. It helped me grow so much. It helped me with my spiritual growth and my mental health, as well. I became a lot more calm, and just happier overall.”
Emily Nisimov
“Fellowship was an amazing experience and a really nice way to ease me into learning about Torah and Judaism. I’m super grateful to be part of something that is so big and welcoming and introduces so many people to Judaism.”
Ariel Akbashev
“I came into Queens College knowing zero Jews. I was close to an atheist, and now I wrap tefillin every morning, I try to keep Shabbat when I can, I go to shul during the holidays, I inspire others to practice Judaism and embrace their identity. I wouldn’t be where I am without Emet.”
