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 UMD Chabad, we pride ourselves on creating a "home away from home" for Jewish students at the University of Maryland. We open our home weekly to hundreds of students, welcoming them with the warmth of family. We strive to create meaningful relationships with a broad spectrum of students.  Our diverse and dynamic programming attract hundreds of Jewish students from a variety of backgrounds. 

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.
