Another amazing Chabad at FGCU month flew by

By Rabbi Mendel Gordon

Some special highlights we had for the FGCU students in March include a special Hakel Shabbat, joining students from schools all over Florida for a shabbat together at UF. What a special feeling it was to sing shalom aleichem and welcome in shabbat with more than 300 Jewish students from all over.

Another highlight was a shabbat dinner in North Lake, where one of the students hosted shabbat for the clan.

We had a fun night at Headpinz for bowling organized by our student leaders, and how could I forget the pre-Purim hamentashen bake?

We had a fun course called paradigm shift, learning the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s positive outlook on life. Allowing us to see things in a whole new light, and a great text-based class on the weekly Parsha.

We look forward to celebrating Passover together with our student community. Our seders are open to any college-age Jews in Southwest Florida. Reach out for more information.
