Chabad at Chapman University

Chabad at Chapman University Chabad at Chapman University is a home away from home for the Chapman Jewish community. In the early 1950s, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M.

Chabad at Chapman University seeks to be a "home away from home" for Jews on campus and offers a wealth of social, educational and spiritual programs at campuses across America and around the globe. At college, students are exposed to new ideas and experiences and Chabad seeks to ensure that students graduate as stronger and more empowered Jews than when they entered. Schneerson, of blessed memory

, began sending rabbinical students to campuses to serve as a resource for students. Since the 1960s, Chabad campus centers open their doors to every Jewish student regardless of background or observance level. Programming always reflects tolerant, non-judgmental and open discussions, which is the hallmark of Chabad's inclusiveness. A unique quality of Chabad's campus centers is the leadership provided by a dynamic couple who create an atmosphere where students can feel safe and seek guidance on variety of social, education and spiritual issues. More recently, with the assistance of visionary philanthropists George and Pamela Rohr of New York, the Chabad on Campus International Foundation has set an ambitious course of expansion. Today, full-service Chabad Jewish student centers are found on over 130 campuses worldwide, and Chabad-Lubavitch serves hundreds of other campuses with Jewish resources. Off campus, Chabad hosts national Shabbat retreats with hundreds of students from dozens of colleges. Leadership training is highly valued by Chabad, and during the summertime hiatus, Chabad hosts a convention of campus representatives to strengthen leadership skills, share outreach strategies and prepare the next year's programming.

This past weekend, five members of Chabad at Chapman went to the Sinai Scholars Retreat in Miami! Through meeting other scholars from schools across the country, listening to inspirational speakers, and keeping Shabbat, they were able to take their connection to Judaism a step further from the traditional, 8-week Sinai scholars course.
