About
Welcome to the Chabad at the University of Maryland.
UMD Chabad was established in August 1995. Our aim is to give meaning, share joy and add spirituality to the every day. Our dream is to teach these values in a warm and nurturing environment where people can grow together, enjoying life and Judaism simultaneously.
Chabad recognizes all, regardless of affiliation, background or levels of observances.
We invite you to explore our site and join in our many programs, celebrations, and events. You will find something for everyone - students, parents, faculty, and local community members.
We look forward to personally welcoming you at Chabad where you will find warmth, wisdom and an all-around great time!
