Terms & Conditions: The Chabad House Meal Plan provides daily kosher meals when the university is in session. The program begins on the ﬁrst day of classes and continues until the last day of ﬁnal exams, for a total of thirty-two (32) weeks. Shabbat dinner on Friday nights and lunches on Saturday are served after services or as ‘Shabbat-to-go’ options. Chabad House serves Holiday (yom tov) meals and holds services for those Holidays (yom tovs) that fall during the academic calendar. Due to covid-19, these might be offer as ‘to-go’ options and students might need to pre-register for either indoor dining or ‘to-go’ Shabbat and Jewish Holiday meals. A link will be sent via email and students will receive weekly updates on these decisions as well as any changes to meal times. There are no meals served during Thanksgiving, Winter or Spring breaks. Meal plans may not be altered after the ﬁrst week of the semester. Meal Plan fees cannot be prorated and are non-refundable if the students voluntarily chooses to cancel their plan after the first week. In the event of cancellation due to a COVID-19 outbreak,the meal plan payment will be credited (towards a future semester) or refunded at 75% of the prorated, per-diem amount. It is the student’s responsibility to use up the meals they signed up for within the semester and they will not be rolled over into the following semester.

Due to NJ Department of Health and CDC Covid-19 regulations, all students and guests are required to wear proper face coverings in all public areas of our building with the exception of when they’re eating/drinking. All students will be required to wash their hands or use hand sanitizer upon entering our building and dining hall. Social Distancing guidelines will be enforced in the dining hall. Any student not following Covid-19 safety regulations will be asked to leave immediately. Students signed up for the Complete or Traditional Meal Plans, may use up to 10 of their meals each semester for guests. A “guest” student can only use this privilege up to 5 times per semester. They cannot be a “guest” for someone else afterwards. Chabad House Meal Plan students may bring guests to meals. All guests are subject to same rules as students enrolled in a meal plan. The student guest fees are: Breakfast – $9.00, Brunch or Lunch -$14.00, and Dinner -$20.00. Non-student guest fees are: Breakfast - $11.00, Lunch - $16.00, Dinner - $21.00. There is no charge for Shabbat guests but pre-registration and pre-screening is required. The meal program will be served as “to go” meals in order to follow Covid-19 safety protocols. Every meal pack you take is considered an individual meal and will count towards your meal plan. If you have a hearty appetite, you are permitted to use up to two of your meals at one time and will receive an additional packaged meal. Under no circumstances may you take a meal for anyone else that has not paid, at any time. Please ask any questions at the service desk or email dining@chabadnj.org.
