Community Voices

I’m so grateful for CYP Columbia! I really appreciate having somewhere to go for shabbats and other holidays. I loved going to Chabad on Campus events in college and was really happy to learn that that kind of community- a family environment, being around Jews my own age, amazing shluchim- was there for me even though I had moved and ended school. Thank you for opening your home!!!

I appreciate how CYP creates a sense of community for young Jewish people in the years after college. Once you're out in the free world it's important to have that and not as easy to come by. It's always nice to have a place to celebrate the holidays and Shabbat

CYP Columbia was a wonderful way to connect with local Jews my age when I first moved to the area. I’m thankful for all of the events that Rabbi and ROchel were able to put on to help us connect to our Jewish heritage and connect with our fellow young professionals in the area, an especially important mission in a suburban area like Columbia.
