What’s on right now
Invite your family for Parents Weekend
Bring your parents to campus for a weekend of Sukkot meals, services, and celebration. Add their info and we'll send them a warm, personal invitation from Chabad.
Come as you are.
- Shabbat DinnersEvery Friday night. Candles, l'chaim, way too much food, and a table that keeps growing.
- The heart of the week. Friday night dinner at the Sands Chabad House, every single week of the semester, no reservation required. Show up hungry, leave with new friends.
- Cafe ChabadBagels, lox, and tefillin. A midweek pause with real coffee and a Jewish moment.
- Formerly Bagels Lox & Tefillin, now Cafe Chabad. A weekly midweek drop-in: bagels and lox, omelets, smoothies, great coffee, an option to put on tefillin, and a short word of Torah. No commitment, just come eat.
- "Souper" TuesdaysHot soup, cold weather, warm company. A midweek reset.
- When the days get cold, we bring hot soup to campus. Starts the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving break, then every week through the winter. Open to all, no RSVP needed. Simple, warm, and exactly what a Tuesday needs.
- Sinai Scholars SocietyA semester of serious Jewish learning, with a cohort and a capstone dinner.
- A structured, semester-long course exploring Jewish thought and identity in a small cohort, taught by Rabbi Didy. Ends with a celebratory graduation dinner. Great for students who want to go deeper.
- Lunch and LearnOne-on-one study over lunch. Bring a question, bring an appetite.
- Grab a bite and a chavruta (study partner) and dig into a text, a question, or whatever's on your mind. One-on-one, at your pace, no background required.
- JewishUA rotating lineup of Jewish courses, posted fresh each semester.
- JewishU offers Jewish courses that change every semester. Browse what's running now and sign up.
