Dear Parents,

Going away to college is a priceless opportunity to mature and thrive intellectually, socially and politically. For Jewish students it is also an opportunity to deepen and broaden one's Jewish identity, and enhance the sense of committment and responsibility to the greater Jewish community - on campus, at home, across America and throughout the world.

Here, at the Chabad Jewish Student Center, we pride ourselves on creating a "home away from home" for Jewish students at Northern Arizona University. We open our home weekly to the students, welcoming them with the warmth of family. We strive to create meaningful relationships with a broad spectrum of students.

Through our diverse and dynamic programming, we offer everything from Shabbat dinners to engaging Jewish educational opportunities. We are proud to say that we are able to reach many under-involved Jewish students and inspire a positive connection to Judaism and Israel.

We understand that as a parent, there can be many worrisome moments while your child is away at college. That's why we want you to know that we're here. Feel free to contact us, introduce yourselves and let us know what's on your mind. We'll be glad to assist in any way possible.

Sincerely,
Rabbi Dovie and Chaya Shapiro
