Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Sign up for the Chabad Bot by text, then RSVP for the event you want..

You need to sign up first.

What to expect

The site does not describe a first visit in detail. Its main programs for students are Shabbat dinners, holiday events and learning, and the pages read list no fees.

Tips for your first visit

  • RSVP for an event before you come, since the site runs its events through RSVP pages.
  • The site does not list walk-in times or office hours, so ask through the contact page first.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The house offers sign-up and RSVP routes for events, but the pages read do not say newcomers or first-timers are welcome. A testimonial about feeling at home as a new arrival is the closest thing to a welcome..
