Chabad on Fulton- Jewish Student Center

Chabad on Fulton- Jewish Student Center Jewish student life is now enhanced! Chabad is happy to be an OFF- CAMPUS resource for Vassar College No one is ever turned away. Schneerson, of blessed memory.

Vision:


With the vision to open the door of Judaism to all Jewish students and faculty at Vassar College, Marist College, The Culinary Institute of America and Dutchess Community College, we have established the Chabad House. A place where Jews of all backgrounds and degrees of observance can enjoy exploring their Jewish heritage in a warm, welcoming and accepting environment. Philosophy
It's

our core belief that every individual Jew has an indispensable contribution to make to the totality of the Jewish people. Predicated on the Mitzvah of "Ahavat Yisrael - love of a fellow Jew," Chabad seeks to engage fellow Jews at their own pace and comfort level through innovative educational programs in all areas of Jewish life. Programs
Among our programs, we host weekly Shabbat dinners that provide Jewish students an intimate setting to eat, meet new friends from every niche of the campus community, and celebrate Shabbat in a spiritual and intellectually stimulating manner. Creative Holiday programs raise Jewish consciousness and pride throughout the community. Lectures and classes on Jewish law, philosophy, & ethics teach the relevance and the depth of our beautiful heritage to our community. We continue to meet with students individually around the clock. Impact
Our efforts to engage the unaffiliated, and increase the opportunities for the affiliated, have been met with incredible success. For many, Chabad on Fulton – Student Center has been their first positive Jewish experience. Leaders on campuses have expressed wonder at Chabad on Campus's ability to seamlessly bring together a diverse community of undergraduates, faculty, and Jews of all backgrounds on an ongoing basis. Hundreds of students have had their connection to Judaism deepened because of the work of Chabad. Funding
Being that we interact primarily with a student community, we provide all our programs and services free of charge. The support for our programs comes solely from alumni, parents and friends. Inspired
By The Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. For a glimpse into the Rebbe, go to therebbe.org

Dear Parents ,

Welcome to the Vassar Jewish Family!

My name is Dalia , and alongside my husband Rabbi Daniel, we co direct the Chabad serving Vassar.

Going away to college gives us a priceless opportunity to mature and thrive!
For Jewish students its also an opportunity deepen and broaden their connection to their Jewish identity.

That is what we are here for.
We are "home away from home" for every student , no matter their backround.
A listening ear, a shoulder to lean on , a spiritual support provider, or just a hot bowl of matza ball soup when they need a hug.

As a parent myself , I understand sending a child to campus , with unprecedented rise in antisemitsm on college campuses.

Please know we are always here for you and your children!

Here are our direct cell phones.

As I sit here, on the eve of Gimmel Tammuz (3rd of Tammuz, marking the day of passing from this physical world of The Rebbe) taking a moment to pause and reflect.
I am pulled in many directions, my soul , mind and heart all bubbling over with words they want to say.
I struggle to decipher between my personal emotions, my communal ones, my thoughts in the micro and macro, and my soul aching and longing for truth, revealed good and godliness to permeate the world already! And END to the Golus , or exile in english.

Right before the Jewish New year, Rosh Hashana, I took stock, I stopped to think about what I pray for, hope to achieve and envision the year to look like.

I share a feeling , I think , as do the entire Jewish people - I was not ready for what GOD had in store for us. Or at least I did not feel ready.

This past week, one of my dear friends lost her mother suddenly, a young woman of 62. I have spent the week with her , and at the same time I feel as though my soul cannot cope with more sorrow, pain, anguish, death and loss. It feels like it’s all I have been doing for 9 long months.
My own mother sent me a somber text when I let her know of the recent tragedy. “It seems the call of the hour is to visit shiva houses”.
Many hours of the day I want to let myself sink into that sadness.

Then I turn my thoughts inwards ,and upwards. It’s a constant battle of the souls. To CHOOSE light, life and focus hard on the positive.

Those choices are motivated by The Rebbe. Everyday, every moment, when I CHOOSE to see the godliness in a person, in the world, in an experience. When I CHOOSE to shift my perspective towards my purpose - adding in light, everywhere, at every moment.

None of us would be connected if not for The Rebbe’s vision of light. Let that sink in, I wouldn’t know you, there would be no chabad house, the ripple effects in your life as a result of your Jewish experiences on campus or off campus would not have happened.

The Rebbe looks at you- and sees your soul, your godly infinite light. The Rebbe looks at the world, that feels like it's falling apart sometimes, and sees LIGHT, HOPE, GODLINESS!

Tonight and tomorrow are very auspicious, powerful hours- lets use them to CHOOSE light, to reaffirm our purpose in the world and regroup.
If you can- visit the resting place of the Rebbe, “The Ohel” in Queens NY.
If you cannot- take a moment to write a letter to The Rebbe.
Take another moment to learn a teaching by The Rebbe- and let it sink it.

https://www.ohelchabad.org/?lang=en

The Rebbe doesn’t belong to anyone- he is the leader of the Jewish people and a great leader of the world at large, his wisdom and guidance are ones we need everyday and more than ever now.

L'chaim,
May we all be light, add light
And finally transform this world.
