PENNYSLVANIA - The Kugel Collaborative on South Street provides a space for Jewish art students. Rabbi Daniel Grodnitzky noticed that while Jewish students who attend Drexel, Temple and University of Pennsylvania had access to Jewish student centers to keep in touch with their Jewish culture and heritage, there was no location offered to Jewish students attending art schools. He noted schools including University of the Arts and the Moore College of Art as lacking these resources, and said he wanted to resolve this issue. [link]
