Torah Classes
Throughout the ages, Torah Study has kept Judaism alive! We are proud to offer an array of classes that cover a variety of topics and cater to different learning levels. Rabbi Yuda teaches a weekly Tanya class, a weekly Advanced Parsha class, and a weekly JewishU class. Naomi teaches a monthly women's class. For more information, contact us below.
One on One Torah Study
Is there a Jewish topic you always wanted to explore but never had a chance to? Are there Torah classes that you can’t attend because of your school schedule? Sign up to learn one on one with Rabbi Yuda or Naomi and we will do our best to find a time that works for you.
Mezuzah Bank
A Mezuzah is a little scroll which has inscribed in it the words of the Shema prayer. It is hung on the doorposts of Jewish homes and is a source of God’s protection and a display of Jewish pride. With the Mezuzah Bank, Chabad at Columbia University lends students Mezuzot for their dorm rooms. Sign up to receive yours and we’ll hang it up together.
Volunteer Opportunities
Tzedaka includes giving of your time. Chabad at Columbia University invites you to participate in various volunteer opportunities throughout the year. To volunteer, text "volunteer" to the ChaBot at 917-809-5339 and we will keep you posted about different opportunities available.
