A new home for Jewish life at USC. ❤️💛

On August 30, students, alumni, university leadership, supporters, families, and friends gathered to celebrate the Grand Opening of the new Chabad Jewish Student Center at USC — 26 years in the making.

What began in 2000 with a few students and a dream has grown into nearly 12,000 square feet dedicated to Jewish life at USC.

As Runya Wagner shared:

“We didn’t build 12,000 square feet just to have more space. We built a place where Judaism can have more life.”

Throughout the evening, speakers and guests reflected on what this home represents: belonging, Jewish pride, leadership, friendship, learning, and connection.

Noah Razak described it as:

“A home where Jewish students can walk through the door and know that they belong.”

We were honored to celebrate alongside USC President Beong-Soo Kim, Board of Trustees Chair Suzanne Nora Johnson, Dean of Religious Life Varun Soni, our student leaders, alumni, supporters, and the many people who helped make this moment possible.

There were tears in many eyes when President Kim declared his commitment to making USC the most welcoming university for Jewish students in the country.

Suzanne Nora Johnson described the work of the Wagners and Chabad as the ultimate model of the Trojan Family.

And Dean Soni spoke about Chabad’s emphasis on joy — something he said is exactly what we all need in this moment.

More than a building, this is a home for community, celebration, and generations of Jewish Trojans to come.

Welcome home! ❤️💛
