Chabad Serves UNT’s Expanding Jewish Population

by Dmitriy Shapiro – Chabad.edu

University of North Texas student Josh Kasoff dons the Jewish prayer boxes known as tefillin with the assistance of Rabbi Levi Dubrawsky at a recent Israel-themed fair.

Jewish students at the University of North Texas now have a home away from home with the opening of a new campus Chabad House run by Rabbi Levi and Leah Dubrawsky, who moved up the I-35 corridor to Denton from the Dallas area just two months ago. Drawn by UNT’s growing Jewish student population, the couple is part of an ever-expanding network of hundreds of Chabad-Lubavitch emissaries concentrating on campus communities.

Becoming Friends Through the Friendship Circle

Washington Jewish Week

Mrs. Chana Kaplan with Friendship Circle participants.

When Jenna Kress, 16, first met Danielle Orleans, 9, she had to stay on the other side of the room for a visit that lasted about 15 minutes. Fast forward three years later, Jenna continues to visit Danielle, who is high functioning on the Autism spectrum, every single Sunday, staying for hours to read, write, cook and bake with the little girl who has allowed her to not only come close in physical proximity, but in her heart, as well.
