Update: 2/1/2010
There have been a few stebacks, we are currently waiting for the result of some litigation on the side of the seller for us to finally close.
|
Immediate Goal:
· To enable visitors to drop in at any time.
· To allow for multiple simultaneous classes.
· Create a warm and inviting beginners Shabbat prayer service.
· Allow for more students to attend Yossi and Baila's legendary Shabbat dinners and other events.
Future Goal:
· Mikvah
· As the University of Chicago targets more Jewish students, Chabad will be in the best position possible to cater for this increase.
· As the neighborhood expands, we anticipate more Jewish families demanding our services.

Chabad is Moving.
In the coming months, Chabad will officially purchase a great 6,500 sq.ft., 4 story building at 5635 S. University Ave, opposite the Bartlett Dining Commons.
This new facility will completely revolutionize Chabad at the University of Chicago, and permanently change the face of Jewish life for the campus and the community.
We have been fortunate to receive a $500,000 matching grant to jump start the campaign.
You can help us turn this dream into a reality with your generous tax deductible contribution. All contributions of $5,000 and higher can be paid over time.
Every gift makes a difference.
