Chabad GW, an organization dedicated to supporting orthodox Jewish life on campus, held its inaugural event last week, drawing more than 300 students to Kogan Plaza for a celebration of the Jewish holiday of Sukkot.
Nationally, GW has the eighth largest percentage of Jewish students on a college campus, according to statistics gathered by Hillel. Chabad aims to reach out to these students.
“The dream is to create a home away from home that will always be available to students,” said Rabbi Yudi Steiner, who co-directs Chabad GW along with his wife Rivky. “My wife and I provide a welcoming, nonjudgmental, relaxing place for Jews to come and feel appreciated where they feel that they have a brotherhood that they can kick back with.”

The following is a Yechidus with the Rebbe that ranking officer in the IDF, Lt. General Ron Pekar, who served in the air force. He transcribed the audience in his private diary. To learn more about the Rebbe visit: www.portraitofaleader.blogspot.com
“Battle weary and depressed by the constant fighting, the officer expressed his wish that there be no more combat with enemies.
