Events

There’s always something ”cooking” at Chabad House! Whether it’s literally cooking for Shabbat and baking challah Thursday nights, engaging your intellect in a class on Jewish Philosophy, catering to your taste buds with a delicious home-made Shabbat meal, or having fun with hundreds of other Jewish students at a barbeque, retreat, or concert, we’re busy every day of the week. With so many options, there’s really something for everyone!
