Jewish Support Services in the Charlottesville Area
Chabad at UVA is here for the broader Jewish community, not just students. Whether you are in a hospital, retirement home, new apartment, or just need someone to talk to, we are here to help with care and attention.
Hospital Visitations
Rabbi Shlomo visits Jewish patients at local hospitals on a regular basis, whether affiliated or not, to offer a comforting prayer, gather Hebrew names for a Mi Sheberach, and provide support and assistance as needed. If you know someone in the hospital who could use a visit, please reach out.
Mezuzah House Calls
