Dear Parents,
Going away to college is a priceless opportunity to mature and thrive intellectually, socially and personally. For Jewish students, it's also a chance to deepen their Jewish identity and their connection to the Jewish community on campus, at home and around the world.
At Chabad at UCF, we pride ourselves on creating a home away from home for Jewish students. From weekly Shabbat dinners to engaging Jewish learning, our programs reach students of every background and inspire a positive connection to Judaism and Israel.
We understand there can be worrisome moments while your child is away. That's why we want you to know we're here. Feel free to reach out, introduce yourselves and let us know what's on your mind. We'll be glad to help in any way we can.
Your investment in Jewish student life is critical to our success. With demand for quality programming on the rise, we invite you to partner with Chabad at UCF.
