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
Within a piece of bread (and every other created thing) is an "utterance of G-d's mouth" -- the letters of Divine speech that are the instrument of its creation. When the human body hungers for physical bread, it is but a reflection of its soul's craving for the Divine utterance that is the "soul" of the bread.
Rabbi DovBer, the Maggid of Mezeritch
