Our kid found a wonderful circle of friends at Swarthmore Chabad. He was a Swarthmore student during a period that was fraught for Jewish kids, and Mordi and Reizel provided a calm space where students could feel safe and secure. He found wonderful fellowship at Chabad.

The college years are a pivotal time for young adults to explore and embrace their Jewish identity, and we are grateful to Rabbi Wolf and his wife for providing religious leadership.
