Chanie Zaklikovsky teaches a new song during a women's gathering in the sukkah

MONROE TOWNSHIP NJ — When most people hear of a Chabad House, images of college students, young professional couples with kids or even backpackers traipsing through the mountains of Asia or South American flit through their minds. Senior citizens usually do not appear in such split-second conceptions.

The following is a letter a student sent his Rabbi back at home after spending a weekend in Crown Heights as part of the Chabad on Campus ‘Jewish Weekend’ which he participated along with Rabbi Zalman and his wife Sarah Deitsch, program directors of the Schottenstein Chabad House at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio.

Hey Rabbi!

It's Harlan. I don't know if my father told you, but this weekend I went with the Chabad of OSU to Crown Heights for the weekend. It was because there was this big conference of Chabads from colleges all around the country. Rabbi Zalman and Sarah asked me, and I basically said yes without hesitation.

While in Crown Heights, I noticed something. Because it was my first time in there, I didn't really know what to expect, although I did imagine a lot of Jews doing nothing but being Jewish and talking about nothing else. I don't know, but it did seem as if the weekend would be like a trip to any museum; seeing boring exhibits of 'old school' Judaism.
