Please help me reach my fundraising goal of $500 for Chabad @ USC. Every dollar will be tripled, so $500 = $1,500!

Rabbi Dov and Runya work tirelessly to create a warm, welcoming, open Jewish home for students and alumni at Chabad @ USC. It doesn't take long to realize that they truly live and breathe the values they teach. Beyond offering weekly lunch and learns, trips to Israel, inspiring Shabbat and holiday services, delicious Shabbat dinners, individualized study, over-the-top Purim parties, free mezuzahs and menorahs, and tefillin selfies, they go out of their way to help students to an extent I have yet to see equaled.

The relationships that the Wagners build with students don't end at graduation. Every time I go back for Shabbat or challah baking or a holiday party (which is often!), I always run into other alumni who have also returned "home" for the unique, Chabad @ USC experience. Just this week - 3+ years after graduation - I mentioned on Facebook that I needed a free menorah for a friend, and Rabbi Dov immediately volunteered to bring one for me during his morning carpool.

Because Rabbi Dov and Runya have done such an incredible job building the Jewish community @ USC, they need more space! The expansion of their Chabad House has been years in the making. They will be quadrupling the square footage available for public use, with a huge new dining hall, sanctuary, and commercial kitchen. It is a $2.5 million project, and they still need to raise over $1,000,000 to get it built.

This Chanukah, please give what you can to help continue to bring light to the Jewish community @ USC.

Thank you!
