Rohr Chabad Jewish Center at Texas A&M University

In the early 1950s, the Lubavitcher Rebbe , Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, began sending rabbinical graduates to campuses to serve as a resource for students. Since the 1960s, Chabad campus centers have opened their doors to every Jewish student regardless of background or level of observance.

Conveying these values to college students, who are at a critical juncture in their lives, is of primary importance. Chabad on Campus has homes on more than 950 campuses worldwide where Jewish students of every background and affiliation can chill and connect. Our caring and experienced directors* promote social, educational, and spiritual enlightenment. No judgment, just joy.

Under the auspices of Texas Friends of Chabad Lubavitch, and with the assistance of the “Rohr” initiative, we opened our doors in June 2007. As a family, we strive to create a "home away from home" for all Jews on campus. We want to ensure that all Jewish students graduate as stronger, more empowered Jews.

Rabbi Yossi and Manya Lazaroff , serve as the founders and directors of the Chabad Jewish Center at Texas A&M University. Passionate about Jewish education, they have grown the Jewish Aggie community and the services available. They host over 75 students at their Shabbos dinner table weekly. Yossi serves as the Campus Rabbi and director of operations and Manya teaches classes almost on the daily, including the Sinai Scholars Course. Manya assists people around the world. She is a sought after speaker, mentor and dating coach.
