Countless students discover Yiddishkeit at Chabad on Campus, but what happens when their college years end?
As the very first Chabad house dedicated specifically to alumni, we’re committed to continuing the journey beyond Chabad on Campus at Oberlin College. Through weekly Shabbat dinners, engaging Torah classes, holiday celebrations, and meaningful social events, we will offer a warm, supportive community for Jewish graduates of Oberlin College. This new alumni-focused Chabad will serve as a spiritual anchor, helping Jewish alumni who are artists, thinkers, and professionals stay connected to their heritage and the inspiration they found during their time at Chabad at Oberlin. Together, we will build a vibrant and lasting network where Jewish life thrives well beyond their college years.
Led by Yisroel and Sarah Pinson in collaboration with Rabbi Shlomo and Devorah Elkan of Chabad at Oberlin College, the alumni community will be based in Brooklyn, where Oberlin graduates can come together for meaningful Jewish experiences and connection. Since so many Oberlin alumni settle in NYC after they graduate, there is a strong need to create Jewish programs geared towards the liberal arts college graduate. The Pinsons will engage with alumni around the world as well, by connecting them with Jewish infrastructure wherever they are. As artists and writers who enjoy bringing people together, Yisroel and Sarah (and their baby Chatche) are excited to launch this project, and utilize the creative experiences that NYC has to offer for the alumni programming.
Join us in creating a vibrant alumni community!
