JewishGator.comChabad UF is your home away from home at UF. Shabbat dinners, kosher food, holidays, and a welcoming Jewish community for every Gator student.
Chabad UF is founded and dedicated by his boundless love, teachings and inspiration.
Chabad-Lubavitch, originating in the White Russian town of Lubavitch, is a Chassidic philosophy that teaches understanding, service and recognition of G-d, the purpose of creation, and the unique vital mission of each individual, through the application of the three intellectual qualities of Chochmah (wisdom), Binah (understanding) and Daat (knowledge). The initials of these three Hebrew words form the word “Chabad”.
Appropriately, the word Lubavitch in Russian means the “city of brotherly love.” The name conveys the essence of the responsibility and love engendered by the Chabad philosophy.
Chabad-Lubavitch is a home where everyone is welcome — regardless of affiliation, level of knowledge or observance. A welcoming environment to explore, learn and experience Judaism in a non-judgmental and inviting atmosphere.
