Dear Parents,
Going away to college is a priceless opportunity to mature and thrive intellectually, socially and politically. For students it is also an opportunity to deepen and broaden one’s identity, and enhance the sense of commitment and responsibility to the greater community – on campus, at home, across America and throughout the world.
Here, at Illini Chabad, we pride ourselves on creating a “home away from home” for students at the University of Illinois. 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 students from a variety of backgrounds. We are proud to say that we are able to reach many under-involved students and inspire a positive connection to the communitty. visit our University of Illinois Center page (jewishillini.org)
Our Student Board helps empower students for leadership roles and responsibilities in the campus community and society-at-large. We are committed to helping students explore and optimize their leadership potential by offering students project leadership and meaningful responsibility.
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.
Sincerely,
Rabbi Dovid and Goldie Tiechtel
