Thank you, The Healthcare Foundation of New Jersey, for partnering with us to provide critical support to our students and faculty!

SPOTLIGHT ON NEW GRANTS – Continuing our mental health initiative, we are proud to provide a $150,000 second-year renewal grant (with an additional $25,000 available upon matching funds) to the Rabbinical College of America to expand its groundbreaking Office of Emotional Wellness.

In just one year, RCA's innovative program has transformed student mental health, providing individual therapy for 20 students, group sessions for 71 students, and monthly school-wide mental health education. Through a powerful partnership with Lakewood Community Services Corporation, students have access to culturally competent, multilingual clinicians and comprehensive clinical support.
The impact is clear: 85% of parents requested additional programming, teachers have received professional development, and students are receiving the mental health care they need during critical developmental years.

Year 2 will bring facility certification, plus a dedicated wellness space and enhanced family-centered care.

We're proud to partner with RCA in normalizing mental health support among the Jewish Orthodox community and ensuring every student has access to compassionate, culturally responsive care.

The delegation included Rabbi Mendy Herson, Director of Chabad of New Jersey, and Rabbi Eitan Webb, Director of Chabad at Princeton.

Chabad of New Jersey and its affiliates thank the President for his focused attention to issues facing our community.

Real change isn't easy... but it's worth it.

For many Jewish American students, advanced Torah learning can feel out of reach. It takes years of dedicated study and expert guidance to truly excel.

This week, we welcomed back our Tiferes Bachurim students for another transformative semester!

Our mission? Meeting students exactly where they are in their Jewish journey, whether they're just learning the Hebrew alphabet or diving deep into complex Talmudic and Chassidic texts.

What makes Tiferes Bachurim special? Our incredible rabbis who guide each curious mind with patience, respect, and genuine care. They're masters at helping students discover their unique place in Jewish learning.

This is why our program continues to grow and thrive. When you create an environment where every Jewish background is welcomed, amazing things happen.

Welcome back, Tiferes students! We can't wait to see how you'll grow this year.
