Your Child’s Home Away from Home. A Strong Jewish Community at UW.
PARENTS
Welcome to Chabad at University of Washington!
Going away to college is a priceless opportunity to mature and thrive intellectually, socially and politically.
For Jewish students, it is also an opportunity to deepen and broaden one's Jewish identity and enhance the sense of commitment and responsibility to the greater Jewish community - on campus, at home, across America, and throughout the world.
Here, at the Chabad UW, we pride ourselves on creating a "home away from home for every Jewish Husky". We open our home weekly to the many students, welcoming them with the warmth of family. We strive to create meaningful relationships with a broad spectrum of students
We understand that as a parent, there can be many worrisome moments while your child is away at college. That's why we want you to know that we're here. Feel free to contact us, introduce yourselves and let us know what's on your mind. We'll be glad to assist in any way possible. we'll even deliver a hot bowl of homemade Matzah Ball soup.

Parents are always welcome to join us for Shabbat!
Many families celebrate Shabbat with us while visiting their Husky during the year. We especially encourage parents to join for Shabbat dinner during Parents Weekend and Graduation Weekend —it’s a beautiful way to experience Jewish life on campus together.
Your gift gives Jewish Huskies a way to learn and express their Judaism.
Your gift gives them meaningful conversations with their peers and delicious Shabbat Dinners and Holiday celebrations, filled with delicious food, light, and laughter.
Your gift will help Jewish students connect to their heritage and to each other.
Thanks to generous parents like you, all services and programs are free of charge and open to every Jewish Husky.
