Open our doors any day of the week... You’ll see how Chabad offers something for everyone!
Open the door to the Chabad House any day of the week. For sure you’ll find students eating, meeting, praying, studying, working out, or just hanging out. At any given time a few will be chatting with one of our eight rabbis, some will be attending formal classes and others will be participating in one of the 60 weekly individualized chavrusas (one-on-one learning sessions) with our rabbis. Of course, students know that the rabbis’ doors are always open for chats about matters ranging from a succah-decorating contest, to a wifi service interruption, or a deep theological question. Behind the scenes a huge staff is working to ensure the smooth operations of the largest Chabad House in the world. The Chabad House may function as if it were a small hotel but it feels like home.
