Chabad of New Paltz · 5786 in Review
Some Nachas for You
Every photo on this page happened because you gave last year. This is what your gift actually bought — a year of Jewish life at SUNY New Paltz.
The annual apple picking trip — one bus, one orchard, and most of Jewish New Paltz.
The High Holidays
Shofar on the lawn, apples and honey on campus, and a shofar factory where students drilled and sanded their own.
Shabbat, Every Single Week
The table gets longer every year. No charge, no membership, no questions — just dinner.
Out on Campus
Most students don’t walk into a Chabad House on their own. So we go to them — tabling on the quad, tefillin between classes, mezuzahs on dorm doors.
And the Rest of the Year
Purim costumes, hamantashen at midnight, a hot cocoa trolley through a New Paltz winter, and a fall day in the orchard.
Here is the part people don’t realize. Chabad of New Paltz is not funded by any central organization. Not by the university, not by a federation, not by Chabad headquarters. It runs on roughly $230,000 a year, and every dollar of it comes from parents, alumni, and friends.
That is why this page exists. Not to impress you — to show you exactly where your money went, and to ask you to do it again.
Make This Year Happen
Rosh Hashanah is September 11. Your gift today puts food on the table, a shofar on the lawn, and a light on for every Jewish student at New Paltz.
