Chabad Center for Jewish Life at TCNJ is entering its fifth year at The College of New Jersey.
It offers traditional Friday night services and dinners on Campus, an active holiday outreach program and regulary host guest lecturers. We provide other social, educational, recreational, and spiritual programming for students. Our Chabad is a place where students can socialize with friends, food and discussion. It is an opportunity for all Jewish students to enrich their experiences in all aspects of their college career and a place where they can gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of their Jewish heritage, a resource for Jewish lifecycle events and a beacon of tradition to the local community. One of the hallmarks of Chabads on Campus--including Chabad at TCNJ--is our acceptance of all Jews, regardless of religious background and affiliation. Chabad's doors are open to every single Jew and to every single human being.
The Directors of Chabad at TCNJ and are Rabbi Kivi and Mrs. Zeesy Greenbaum. They provide support, inspiration, and guidance to the Jewish community at TCNJ. They can be reached by e-mail at Chabad@tcnj.edu or by phone at 646-701-2202.
Our faculty advisor, Dr. Harold Eickhoff, has been an incredible asset to our organization. Past president of The College of New Jersey and currently a "Distinguished Professor of the Humanities" at the College, Dr. Eickhoff has been one of Chabad's most vocal supporters and active advocates. We are truly indebted to his efforts on behalf of Chabad at TCNJ.
Our honorary advisor, Dr. Michael Robertson, has worked tirelessly with Chabad since its inception. In addition to his work with Chabad, Dr. Robertson serves as President of the Faculty Senate.
Our student executive board is led by President Rebbecca Pinnelas and Vice-Presidents Ian Kahane and Illana Hollander. They are more than happy to address any concerns/questions prospective and current students may have.
