A student enjoys a moment with one of Dov and Runya's children, at the Chabad Student Leadership Retreat

LOS ANGELES, CA — At Hofstra University’s Student Union, Mendel Lieberman is a familiar face. Sorority sisters expect him to be at the table next to theirs. Students stop to beam at him on their way to the ATM. During Shabbat dinner, he always greets them by name – even if the guest list tops twenty. Typical of Chabad on campus, yes, but Mendel is only two.

URBANA, IL — As a freshman, Melisa Garber went looking for Jewish activities on campus. The Dartmouth College women and gender studies major, now a senior, ended up at Shabbat dinners with other students in an atmosphere, she said, not all that different from the youth functions she attended as a high school student in Miami.

“It was so superficial, very socially-oriented,” she explained. “It was very much about who you went to dinner with.”
