ABOUT THE TEAM

My name is Barr Benyamin and I graduated in 2013. I would love your help in achieving my goal of raising $18,000 for the continued growth of Jewish life on campus through the incredible efforts of Chabad@USC. All contributions will be matched TRIPLE by other benefactors, so every dollar you donate magically turns into $3! For example, donate $18 (Chai!)—BOOM, that just turned into $54! Donate $180 (10x Chai!)—BOOM, that just turned into $540! Donate $1,800 (100x Chai you MENSCH!)—BOOM BOOM BOOM, that just turned into $5,400! And I PERSONALLY WILL BE MATCHING EVERY DONATION THROUGH MY PAGE UP TO $6,000! Don’t want to give all at once? That’s totally fine, just sign up for a payment plan in a few easy steps below! You see, that $1,800 donation all of a sudden became a lot more manageable you big mitzvah boy/girl you! ;-)
Rabbi Dov and Runya have been an invaluable and inseparable part of the USC community for 18 incredible years, and this year has been the most successful one yet! As most of you know, life at USC would not be the same without them. Chabad@USC is truly a home away from home. From the comforts of a home-cooked Shabbat meal every week, to having somewhere to go study during the meshugas of finals, to just having somebody to kvetch to when life seems overwhelming, Rabbi Dov and Runya are always there for us and will continue to be there. And the least we can do is help strengthen them in their mission to ensure that every Jewish Trojan has a place on campus that they can call home. So please join me in strengthening and growing Jewish life on campus so that future generations can continue to have the incredible experiences we had!
L’CHAIM!

The Cause

Chabad @ USC was founded by Rabbi Dov and Runya Wagner 17 years ago. Since its founding, they have worked tirelessly to create a place all can call home. Shabbat dinners, Sinai Scholars Society, Israel trips, classes, events – they do whatever it takes, to be there in every way for thousands of students and alumni each and every year.

Rabbi Dov and Runya are literally available 24/7, on call for all, all the time.

As Chabad grows, so does the budget. Chabad's operating annual budget is now $445,000 and ONLY with support of the parents, alumni, students, community and friends can Chabad @ USC continue to do what it does.

Fall 2017 - the Wagner's 35th semester at USC, beginning of their 18th (CHAI) year - was the busiest and most successful one yet. 4,213 Shabbat and holiday meals served! 112 students studying every week. And over 9,400 student interactions in all!

Check out videos with our students reasons for #WhyIChabad at www.fb.com/jewsc

Right now, sponsor a Shabbat dinner for $1,800... and with our generous matchers we'll have the funds for 3 Shabbats! Cover the costs of a full week for $10,000... and with our generous matchers we'll have the funds for 3 weeks! Sponsor Shabbat dinner for ten students for $180... and we'll have the funds for 30! You get the picture....

If you'd like to allocate funds to our capital campaign for the Chabad House expansion, please note it in the comments.
