Achim

Achim, or ‘Brothers’ in Hebrew, was founded in January 2010 by a group of Jewish men at Dickinson College. We aim to foster a brotherhood among inclined male students at Dickinson College of Jewish faith; to serve as a support mechanism for the same; to add to the vivacity and strength of Jewish Life on campus, especially for members of our organization; to serve, in name and in action, as honourable representatives of the Jewish people; and to encourage vigorous participation in social and philanthropic activities in both the Dickinson and Carlisle communities. Our members come from around the nation and around the world, including students from Switzerland, Uruguay, Israel and more!

If you would like to get in contact with us, please send us an email at dickinsonachim@gmail.com!

Achim had a great turnout and a delicious meal at Market Cross Pub!
