Our Mission


The Fig & Vine Magazine is UC Santa Barbara's premier Jewish magazine. The Fig offers thoughtful coverage of local and global happenings, a forum for campus discussion, and a paper of record for the UCSB Jewish community.
Fig & Vine Magazine aims to foster a nuanced understanding of Jewish life and community at UCSB and beyond. We are dedicated to cultivating a collection of work that reflects who we are as neighbors, friends, and scholars. We strive to create a hub for Jewish information, advice, stories, recipes, humor, and more!
The Fig & Vine is a project of the AS Jewish Commission, and was created in close collaboration with Santa Barbara Hillel. Please email our editor-in-chief at lilykarofsky@gmail.com with your writing corrections, comments, tips, submission requests, or suggestions.
