About
Chabad House at UVA is a home away from home for hundreds of college students. What makes it so special? The warm, open, non-judgmental, Jewish family atmosphere that’s unique to our corner of Charlottesville.

Whether it’s a packed Shabbat dinner or a quiet weekday drop-in during our family dinner hour, our doors are always open.

Chabad House exists to nurture a deep love for Judaism among UVA students and the wider Charlottesville community — to spark connection to the Jewish people, the Torah, and the Land of Israel.

No matter your background or affiliation, you are welcome here.
No memberships. No dues. Just good food, great people, and meaningful moments.

Daily Quote
And at that time there will be no hunger or war, no jealousy or rivalry. For the good will be plentiful, and all delicacies available as dust. The entire occupation of the world will be only to know G-d... the people Israel will be of great wisdom; they will perceive the esoteric truths and comprehend their Creator's wisdom as is the capacity of man. As it is written (Isaiah 11:9): "For the earth shall be filed with the knowledge of G-d, as the waters cover the sea."
Maimonides (Mishneh Torah, Laws of Kings 12:5)
