Chabad at Yale University

With the vision of opening the doors of Judaism to all students and faculty at Yale, we have established the Chabad House - a place where Jews of all backgrounds and degrees of observance can enjoy exploring their heritage in a warm, welcoming and non-judgmental environment.



A home where all are welcome no matter their background or affiliation.
• A place where every Jew is family.
• A Jewish student organization at Yale that provides educational, social, and recreational programming for students and faculty.
• A place where students socialize in a comfortable home-like setting with great friends, superb food and stimulating discussion.
• A forum where you can question your faith and not be afraid of judgment.
• A center for prayer and study, where you can gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of your Jewish heritage.
• A partnership between students and staff to help create student programming, plan social action projects, promote health awareness activities and offer many volunteer opportunities.
• An academy providing texts and teachers for those who seek to learn.
• An environment where being Jewish is fun.

Our vision for Chabad at Yale is of a vibrant, modern center that provides educational, social and recreational programming for students and faculty. We strive to convey a compelling, rich, and meaningful Judaism that will inspire all who come in contact with it.
