Hello and Welcome!
We are Rabbi Yuda and Naomi Drizin, the directors of Chabad at Columbia University. Coming to a new place may feel overwhelming and we hope we can help smoothen that transition for you by inviting you to join us at Chabad; a cozy place to unwind in an oasis of Jewish tradition, friends and homemade food. Conveniently located near campus in a newly renovated brownstone, Chabad is a home away from home for Jewish students of all backgrounds regardless of their affiliations or familiarity to Judaism.
Are you in the class of 2030? Join a student's Whatsapp group HERE and connect with other Jewish incoming students! Also, be sure to check out our NSOP events schedule coming out soon!
Take a peak around our website to learn about the various programming and opportunities that Chabad has to offer.
The best way for students to stay updated and to rsvp for events is to sign up to our texting system called the "ChaBot" :) To get started, text "shalom" to 917-809-5339 here and answer the prompts. You'll get a "congrats" when you're all set.
The best way for parents to get updates is by signing up to our email list here. (We also have a Parents WhatsApp group for casual announcements and for parents to connect with other parents. Parents can join here.)
Please don't hesitate to reach out!
We look forward to meeting!
