Today, we recognize Tisha B’Av, a day of reflection and remembrance in the Jewish tradition.

Wishing a meaningful observance to all who are marking the day.

Since 1952, UMD Memorial Chapel has been home to chaplains serving our campus community. What began with Christian and Jewish chaplains has grown into an interfaith presence that includes Hindu, Muslim, and many other traditions. Together, we continue to foster connection, understanding, and belonging for all.

Today, we recognize the Martyrdom of Guru Arjan Dev Sahib, the fifth Guru of Sikhism.

Guru Arjan Dev Sahib is remembered for his steadfast faith and commitment to justice in the face of persecution. His martyrdom in 1606 remains a defining moment in Sikh history and continues to inspire reflection on courage, conviction, and service to others.

Join the Chapel this Wednesday, June 17th, at noon for a meditative labyrinth walk followed by a light lunch. 🌀🥗

Looking forward to seeing you there!
