Hello! and welcome to Leviathan Jewish Journal Online. This is the parallel online version of the award-winning Leviathan Jewish Journal, the long standing Jewish voice of UC Santa Cruz.

Leviathan is a student-run, quarterly publication at UC Santa Cruz. We publish articles ranging from on-campus Jewish culture to national and international issues of interest to Jewish readers and all informed readers alike. It is our goal here at Leviathan to publish relevant, timely pieces in a format that can be approached by anyone. In the tradition of Jewish scholarship, Leviathan is a safe space for expression of many ideas be they: faith-based, personal, academic, or creative in nature.

Leviathan Online takes advantage of the instantaneous medium that is the internet. Here you will find articles and posts that address time-sensitive subjects of a more fluid or immediate matter.


Who are we you ask?
