Building community, celebrating Israeli culture, and fostering informed conversation.
Cornellians for Israel (CFI) is a bipartisan, non-religious student organization at Cornell University
dedicated to promoting
awareness and education about Israel's history, culture, and geopolitical significance.
Through guest speakers, debate series, and actively engaging the student body in productive
conversation,
CFI strives to cultivate a more informed campus community.
CFI also actively commits to bringing the vibrant Israeli culture to Cornell through
various avenues, such
as Shabbat dinners, themed
events, and arranging the annual Shuk on the Arts Quad!
