Wesleyan has lots of Jewish students, almost always has a Jewish chaplain (as one of four chaplains on staff) and is within walking distance of a temple (they welcomed their first woman rabbi in 2020.) It is not a member of Hillel for the same reasons as Swarthmore; predictably, the Isreal/Palestine political situation is a hot-button issue there, too. But when people say they want a place with diverse opinions, conflict is part of the bargain, no?
