Going away to college is a priceless opportunity to mature and thrive intellectually, socially and spiritually.

For Jewish students it is also an opportunity to deepen and broaden one's Jewish identity, and enhance the sense of commitment and responsibility to the greater Jewish community - on campus, at home, across America and throughout the world.

Here, at Chabad of Richardson aka Chabad at UTD, we pride ourselves on creating a "home away from home" for Jewish students at UTD and throughout Richardson. We open our home weekly to dozens 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 Jewish students from a variety of backgrounds. We are proud to say that we are able to reach many under-involved Jewish students and inspire a positive connection to Judaism.

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.

We never charge students for services or events, as we rely on dedicated parents and supporters to make our work possible. To partner with us, please visit our donation page www.jewishrichardson.org/donate

Rabbi Shmuly & Dini Druk
