WELCOME

Dear Friend, Welcome to Fall ‘22 at BU!

We are excited to welcome the new class and say hi again to our old friends. This year holds a special energy as it is a shnat hakhel, it marks the Biblical commandment of gathering the entire Jewish nation after the shmita, the Sabbatical year ( see page 29), so look out for special events to mark hakhel this year.

Remember, Chabad is about you. As you peruse this guide we trust you will find programs that jump out at you and get you excited to join with your friends! If there is anything you want to add to the mix, please step forward and we’ll help you make it happen!

If you are not already in our user friendly texting system, get in on it now!

Text “Shalom” to 607-797-0015 so we can keep you in the loop.

The staff at Chabad is here to help with whatever you may need; and we do mean any need at all. Please don’t hesitate to reach out!

We’re looking forward to enjoying a stellar semester with you all!

See you at Chabad!
