We're a campus ministry on the UC Santa Barbara campus that believes that college is the perfect time to explore the big questions like, "Does God exist?" and "What am I here for?"

At A2F, we try to recreate what we read in Acts chapter 2 of the Bible — ordinary folks forming an extraordinary community. We meet weekly on campus to study the Bible, as well as throughout the week for small groups and other activities. It's a safe place to make some friends, think about the big questions of life, and get some answers as we investigate and discover God's purpose for us.

We invite you to join us!

Mission

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.
