Just Add Water, affectionately known as JAW, aims to provide the magic of musical improv comedy to the Yale Community and beyond during our on-campus shows, off-campus gigs, and semiannual tours around the United States. What's more, JAW provides an environment for Yale students to explore themselves and the world around them via improv. These tools have proven invaluable for our members, current and of legend, and explain in part why JAW is considered a second family by its members.

Marquand Chapel is at the heart of Yale Divinity School.

Worship is planned and led by students, faculty, and staff of both Yale Divinity School and the Institute of Sacred Music, under the leadership of the Dean of Chapel and a team of staff and students.

Worship in Marquand often draws on a wide variety of inherited Christian traditions, with the worship of many denominations being represented. Beyond that, though, we also pay attention to the rising number of people in Western society who have a lively interest in spirituality but feel no connection to traditional forms of church and worship. So Marquand is also actively engaged in original, creative, and experimental forms of worship, both for committed Christians and for those exploring the faith.

Attend Marquand five days in a row, and you may encounter an orthodox liturgy of St. John Chrysostom, a Mardi Gras worship party, a service of silent Lenten contemplation, a chapel converted into one of Dante's spheres of heaven, or a worship caf├®. As a student at Yale Divinity School, you may well have taken part in designing one of these services.

From traditional worship to brave experiment, from ancient liturgy to post-modern praise, from the heart of America to global worship, Marquand's mission is to be worshipful, educational, and ecumenical, and we look forward to welcoming you here.

Services take place in Marquand every weekday classes are in session. All services are open to the community.

From preindustrial tribes gathering together for a common collective cause to affinity groups at Yale, the idea of in-groups and out-groups is what makes society what we know it as today. We have our people, and then we have everyone else. Though this is not inherently problematic, it goes without saying that the separation of people into these groups has caused tremendous pain throughout history. Religion, race, sex, and so much more separate us and make it hard to relate to those on the other side. But regardless of background or group, there is one factor that brings humanity together: the arts. In times such as these where the world is so divided, we hope to play our part in bridging the gaps of hatred and misunderstanding through music. We want to start a student Arabic Orchestra Ensemble to bring our culture’s music to Yale. We hope to play music from prominent Egyptian artists like Umm Kulthum and Abdel Halim Hafiz and show an often misunderstood culture in a beautiful light.
