Hello! It's great to know you're searching for a college with a strong Jewish community. There are numerous US colleges known for their significant Jewish student populations and resources for Jewish students. Here are a few to consider:

1. University of Florida: This school has one of the largest Jewish student bodies in the country. The campus has Jewish cultural organizations like the Isaac Bashevis Singer of Streicher's Ville and Hillel at UF.

2. University of Maryland, College Park: Another university with a large Jewish population. The school's Maryland Hillel offers a range of Jewish cultural programming, including Shabbat dinners and holiday celebrations.

3. New York University: Located in New York City, NYU offers a thriving community for Jewish students. The Bronfman Center for Jewish Student Life offers numerous resources, including weekly Shabbat meals.

4. University of Pennsylvania: Penn, as it's commonly known, has a vibrant Jewish community. Resources include the Penn Hillel, which organizes a host of faith-based activities and events.

5. University of Michigan: This school's Hillel is one of the most active in the country, offering a range of services including Shabbat dinners, cultural programs, and more.

6. Brandeis University: Being a non-sectarian university founded by the American Jewish community, Brandeis has a strong Jewish culture. The school's Hillel is an excellent resource for Jewish students.

These are just a few examples per your request. However, other universities also have thriving Jewish communities. For instance, Binghamton University, Rutgers University, and University of Wisconsin-Madison all offer substantial opportunities and resources for Jewish students. One resource to find out more about Jewish campus life is Hillel International's college guide, which provides an overview of Jewish life at several campuses across the country. I hope this helps in your college search!
