Chabad at Yale was proud to be represented by Danielle Burke ’28 and Steven Belder ’29 at last week’s Living Legacy International Conference, an annual Jewish leadership summit hosted by American Friends of Lubavitch-Chabad in Washington, D.C.

Bringing together student leaders, policymakers, and representatives from Jewish communities around the world, the conference fostered meaningful conversations about the future of Jewish life and leadership.

We are proud of Danielle and Steven for representing Yale’s Jewish community on the national stage!

Passover & Persian Shabbat 2026 Recap:

More than 450 students and faculty participated in our Passover programming and third annual Persian Shabbat dinner, bringing together members of the Yale community in a beautiful celebration of Jewish life on campus.

From Seders at Chabad, tabling on Cross Campus, and sisterhood events, to Lunch & Learns at Yale School of Management and an unforgettable, jam-packed Persian Shabbat experience, the past few weeks were filled with energy, connection, learning, and community. We can’t wait to see what next year brings!

Chabad at Yale recently had the privilege of welcoming Rachel Goldstein (YC ’92) back to campus for a thoughtful and engaging conversation with students.

An executive coach and leadership advisor with over 20 years of experience, Rachel has worked with senior leaders and teams to enhance performance and drive meaningful impact. She shared insights from her personal and professional journey, along with practical guidance on crafting a clear and compelling elevator pitch.

We are continually grateful for our incredible alumni community, whose generosity in giving back as leaders, mentors, and supporters provides current students with both perspective and practical tools for growth—and makes programs like this possible.
