Chabad at UCI is a warm and inviting “home away from home” for Jewish students on campus. College is a time of discovery and growth, and Chabad is here to ensure that students can explore new ideas while staying grounded in Jewish life, tradition, and community.
Led by Rabbi Zevi and Miriam Tenenbaum, Chabad provides care and connection that go far beyond programs and events. Every student is welcomed as part of the family, finding a place of belonging, guidance, and support.
Through Shabbat dinners, holiday celebrations, learning opportunities, and personal mentorship, Chabad nurtures Jewish pride and creates meaningful experiences. It is a refuge from the pressures of campus life and a source of inspiration that helps students graduate stronger and more empowered Jews than when they arrived.
