by COLlive Editor · COLliveA delegation of 150 female university students from universities and colleges across Israel has concluded a visit to New York, organized by Chabad on Campus Israel, led by Rabbi Moshe and Bracha Shilat, together with Chabad on Campus Shluchot.
The trip’s goals included praying at the Rebbe’s Ohel, which the students visited twice; meeting fellow Jewish students in New York; strengthening their connection to their Jewish identity; and developing community leadership skills.
Throughout the trip, the students took part in a rich program: lectures, workshops, meetings, attractions, and experiences throughout the Big Apple.
The students toured the prestigious Princeton University and visited its Chabad on Campus, led by Rabbi Eitan and Gitty Webb. They also toured the Rebbe and Rebbetzin’s home and the Rebbe’s room, experienced Shabbat in Crown Heights, and were hosted and very inspired by local Chabad families.
“We became ambassadors of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, and made positive resolutions to take upon ourselves,” the students said, returning home deeply inspired.
The trip follows another delegation held earlier this summer for student union presidents and students from several Israeli campuses, all by Chabad on Campus Israel.
