Zeta Beta Tau - A Powerhouse of Excellence

Zeta Beta Tau - Jewish Programming

ZBT is proud of our founding as the Nation's first Jewish fraternity. ZBT has several international partnerships with Jewish organizations. The Fraternity does this to remain committed to working with our chapters on developing ways in which they can make a positive impact on Jewish communities both in the U.S. and abroad. Here are just some of the ways ZBT works to practice "Tikkun Olam" (Repairing the World) with our undergraduates and alumni:

  • ZBT-sponsored trips to Israel for undergraduates and alumni
  • Partnering with Hillel: The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life and Chabad on Campus
    More information about these organizations is available at www.hillel.org and www.chabad.org
  • Incorporate service projects into regional and national leadership programs to impact the local Jewish community
  • Educate our members on our original Zionist mission and current place having been founded as the nation’s first Jewish fraternity
  • Provide grants to chapters and colonies pursuing Jewish programming on their campuses

There are many ways in which our chapters can celebrate our Jewish heritage through education and programming. ZBT works with many organizations who partner with our chapters on these types of initiatives.

Several years ago ZBT also created the position of National Chaplain. Rabbi Mark Bloom (Gamma '88) is part of the official family for ZBT and works to consult with individuals and chapters on ways they can most impact the Jewish community around them. Rabbi Bloom presents programs focusing on Jewish values at our Leadership School and consults with our Heritage Committee on a regular basis. Learn more about Rabbi Bloom by visiting his bio here.

Check back on this page frequently for different opportunities for brothers to participate in Jewish programming sponsored, or supported, by Zeta Beta Tau.
