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
Abraham caused G-d's name to be spoken in the mouths of all passerby. How so? After they ate and drank [in his home], they made to bless him. Said he to them: "Have you eaten of mine? Your food has been provided by the G-d of the world! Thank, praise and bless He who spoke the world into being!"
Talmud, Sotah 10a
