Chabad

We are underway!
In a very complicated season, we are so excited to be on the way to the Holy Land, with both of our Birthright groups now in the air.
Now, more than ever, students exploring their Jewish identity and heritage and the story of our people in Israel is so vital, and we are so moved to be part of this process.
Group pics, orientations, even some Mitzvahs at the gate... and we are off on this incredible adventure!
Thank you and for this opportunity!

Shavuot starts tomorrow night.
If you're nearby we'd love to have you with us.
Two options for the Reading of the Ten Commandments on Friday - each followed by a dairy feast.

Chag Sameach!

It so often gets overlooked, but one of the most important dates in the Jewish calendar is coming up.

Besides the High Holidays, Jews have celebrated three holidays annually since Biblical times – Sukkot, Pesach (Passover), and Shavuot. Shavuot is celebrated on the 6th  and 7th of Sivan, 7 weeks after Passover, commemorating the seminal moment of the Giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai on that day, 3,338 years ago. That’s the day we truly became a nation, as we were given the purpose and mission statement that has guided us ever since.

This year, Shavuot will be celebrated on Thursday evening, May 21, through Saturday, May 23. While traditions of the day including eating a dairy meal (cheesecake!) and staying up all night to study Torah, the most important observance is making it to a synagogue on Sunday for the reading of the Ten Commandments – as Jews all over the world re-enact the unity and commitment of that moment.

Somebody renamed their account
Put their name as Chabad @ USC
Copied our description.
And started following our followers etc
Third time this week.
Reported it to . Twice!
But somehow they don't feel this violates their community standards.

a) Don't follow accounts without double checking they're authentic
b) and do better!
c) As an aside, 99 times out of 100 when reporting blatant anti-semitism and hate speech and even direct incitement on these platforms, they give the same response of choosing to pretend that nothing is wrong. Truly shameful!
d) Please take a second and report as a fraud account.

Thank you!

classes have come to an end, and with this post we conclude a record-breaking year for Tefillin on campus. In all, we facilitated over 3,000 Tefillin wraps at USC in the past year! Huge shout out to every single one of the proud Jews who wrapped! And huge shout out to Menachem and Dovi, as well as Meir, Shneur, Moshe, Menachem, and the Friday boys for making it happen!
Keep the Mitzvahs, the smiles, and the Jewish pride going through the summer!
