Chabad CARES: It's how we stay emotionally close even when physically distant.
At the Chabad House, we are committed to providing you the fullest, warmest experience possible, customized to stay within the most recent safety guidelines. Given our new COVID-19 reality, we’ve developed a new, comprehensive program for the Fall 2020 semester.
Keep an eye out for the Chabad CARES icon and banners around the website and around campus—they'll keep you in the loop on how your "home away from home" is adapting to make sure you feel that warmth, whatever the circumstances.
