As the year of 2020 comes to an end we are looking

As the year of 2020 comes to an end we are looking back at this past year.

Definitely one to remember.

For the good and for the opposite.

It was definitely not an easy year for all of us. But we made it happen. The best we can.

Instead of just closing our doors ‘due to Covid’ we rose to the challenge, and in safe way we connected with many many Jewish students all over campus.

Whether it was matza ball soup deliveries, counseling, studying, Shabbat to-go or just being here.

The world turned upside down. Chabad at the U is here regardless of what is going on around the world. Chabad will always be here for ANYONE as we are here to create a safe haven.

But there is another part that you might not hear about as much.

Keeping the engine oiled.

It has been a very tough year.

With your help we will make sure Chabad will continue to ensure a safe haven for the students. For whatever they need.

We need to finish this year on a high note!

Please join in the effort to make sure every student can find a safe haven at the University of Minnesota.

You can make it happen today. Please do.

Eleven years ago during the month of March, we bou

Eleven years ago during the month of March, we bought a one way ticket to Minneapolis to begin Chabad at the University of MN.
We did not know a single student at that time. We held a small Purim party at our small fourth street humble abode where a few students came who had heard that Chabad had opened its doors. This was in 2010. In 2011, one year later we had over 100 people at our Purim party. The rest is history.
Here are some pictures of when it all began.

As you all know there is no membership at Chabad! We have serviced the student community for 11 years in so many different capacities, and everyone is always welcome. Once a year we turn to our parents, alumni, and community to partner with us for our end of year campaign. Please help us reach our goal by clicking the link below. Thank you so much!
