Chabad @ Wesleyan University

In their own words

Rabbi Levi Schectman grew up in Milwaukee, WI and by default is a fan of everything Wisconsin and Midwest. He has been driven to reach out to fellow Jews and over the years, he has taken part in numerous outreach programs, such as cultural trips to Russia and Poland. After getting married and moving to the country called Brooklyn, NY Levi had to quickly adjust to a different culture and lifestyle. Levi loves to hang out and discuss Jewish topics and issues with an emphasis on spirituality and Chassidic mysticism.

Chanie Schectman was born and bred in Brooklyn, NY. Following high school and seminary she worked in a preschool in New York City. She is a teacher by trade, and is famously beloved by her students. Chanie is a voracious reader and enjoys spending time with her family. Elegantly modest and engagingly articulate, Chanie sustains and holds together everything that happens at the Chabad at Wesleyan.

Mendel , 15, has started 10th grade at his yeshiva and is off to a strong academic start. Alongside his studies, his side interests are going as strong as ever — engineering and gardening chief among them. A recent accomplishment is drawing up an ambitious new design for the sukkah, and under his guidance we're excited to be building the biggest sukkah in Middletown!

Esther , 8, has quickly ascended to the top of the hierarchy and has everyone scurrying about to keep her happy. She has quickly learned to stand her ground against her brothers and will put up a decent fight when she feels wronged. The youngest and the only girl in the family, she has a lot going for her!
