Roitman Chabad Center at Cornell University

Campus Chabad House

The heart of Jewish life serving Cornell University, Ithaca College and the Ithaca wide Jewish community.

The Roitman Chabad Center at Cornell University (RCCC) provides students with a warm home-like atmosphere and a place to create life-long friendships. There are students from all walks of Jewish life, from all affiliations and backgrounds, joined together by a desire to experience the joy within Judaism.

We believe that focusing on that which connects us and brings us together is much more meaningful than concentrating on differences and divisions.

We invite you to share our strong Jewish voice, authentic Jewish scholarship, and an uncompromising Jewish pride. At Chabad, we provide a supportive network of Jewish community— and family. If there is something you want to talk about, we are ready to listen and to be there for you.
