"Come out to Chabad as much as you can; they’re always so welcoming, you’ll never regret it."

Visit Chabad; it’s the greatest decision you’ll ever make

Swarthmore Chabad gave me a true sense of family throughout my time in college. I joined the Chai Club to help ensure that future Jewish students can experience the same sense of belonging, support, and community that meant so much to me as a student.

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.

What makes Swarthmore so special is that it's filled with serious people, and Chabad takes people seriously, spiritually and personally.

Rabbi Mordi and Reizel have created an exceptional and much needed space for Jewish life at Swarthmore. I wish they had been there when I was a student. The difficult times we are living through as Jews only make their presence and mission more important. I am so proud of the work they are doing.

For us, Swarthmore Chabad has felt like an extension of our family. Our student has experienced the blessings of warm and delicious Shabbat dinners, holiday celebrations, deep learning opportunities, and even challahs sent along on a recent team road trip! Rabbi Mordi and Reizel have built a vibrant, welcoming, something-for-everyone community that, frankly, exceeded all our expectations for what Jewish life would look like at Swarthmore. We are so fortunate to have them doing the work they do and it’s our privilege to support them in this endeavor.
