Some Nachas for You
Every photo on this page happened because you gave last year. This is what your gift actually bought — a year of Jewish life at SUNY New Paltz.
The annual apple picking trip — one bus, one orchard, and most of Jewish New Paltz.
The High Holidays
Shofar on the lawn, apples and honey on campus, and a shofar factory where students drilled and sanded their own.
Shabbat, Every Single Week
The table gets longer every year. No charge, no membership, no questions — just dinner.
Out on Campus
Most students don’t walk into a Chabad House on their own. So we go to them — tabling on the quad, tefillin between classes, mezuzahs on dorm doors.
And the Rest of the Year
Purim costumes, hamantashen at midnight, a hot cocoa trolley through a New Paltz winter, and a fall day in the orchard.
Here is the part people don’t realize. Chabad of New Paltz is not funded by any central organization. Not by the university, not by a federation, not by Chabad headquarters. It runs on roughly $230,000 a year , and every dollar of it comes from parents, alumni, and friends.
That is why this page exists. Not to impress you — to show you exactly where your money went, and to ask you to do it again.
