Mission
The Iranian Jewish Student Association (IJSA) is an initiative that seeks to create
a community for UCSB students of Mizrahi, Middle Eastern, and/or Persian Jewish descent. This
organization is an attempt to spread awareness of Persian Jewish culture to the campus
community as a whole. Our goal is to allow students to work together and make connections that
allow them to enhance their studies and be able to make friends and reach out to other members
of the community for help in academics, advising, and networking. This is especially important
for the Persian-Jewish community due to a majority being gravely underrepresented in national
media and on campus communities. We hope to connect Persian Jews together from all grade
levels and academic backgrounds with the goal of helping further the group. Iranian Jewish
history and culture are rich and vivid, and we seek to educate all members of our club and
students on campus about our beautiful heritage.
As an organization, we seek to put on events to help provide the Iranian Jewish base with
resources to help further their academics as well as help network alumni Persian Jews with
current Persian Jews to help build a community that extends beyond the 4 years at UCSB. We
also look forward to collaborating with other organizations to host events for the general Middle
Eastern and Jewish communities to ensure inclusivity and community among all groups.
