Chabad at Oberlin

Chabad of Oberlin serves the Jewish community at Oberlin College, offering students and faculty a welcoming place to connect, learn, and celebrate Jewish life. From Friday night Shabbat dinners with fresh challah, warm soup, and meaningful conversation to Jewish programs, events, classes, and one-on-one learning throughout the week, Chabad provides opportunities to engage with Judaism in a welcoming and inclusive environment. No prior Jewish knowledge or experience is required. All students and faculty are welcome, regardless of background, age, or level of Jewish observance. Chabad at Oberlin is a division of Lubavitch of Greater Cleveland, under the direction of Rabbi Leibel and Devorah Alevsky

Rabbi Yisroel and Sarah Pinson

Throughout the year, we offer weekly Shabbat dinners, holiday celebrations, creative Jewish programs and events, classes and one-on-one learning, and a welcoming student lounge.
