The PSJews - Chabad of the Undergrads at Penn State

I've been getting loads of roommate finding messages from freshmen, and putting my Jewish matchmaking skills to its second best use 😅
Now that the craziness of hosting an incredible Passover (for over 450 of your psjews for the first Seder alone!!) is behind us, I took a few minutes to create this PSJEWS CLASS OF 2028 GROUPME! This group chat will be great for them to connect, find Jewish friends, and find a Jewish roommate.
Students needs GroupMe for college, for their dorm chats and clubs etc, so that is best platform to use.
Please feel free to send the link to yours or any other incoming Jewish freshmen!!
🎉🫶🏼😍
Getting ready for an incredible 4 years ahead, and I'm beyond excited to greet them at their home away from home here at Chabad!!!
I'm available 24/7 if u need anything, text me 8144098130 ♥️

Speaking of the suffering in the world, the Rebbe once cried as he expressed pain over the challenges and struggles our people endure.

Although we may want to, it is not our job to understand or excuse the suffering, but to unequivocally call out to G-d in protest, expressing our deepest pain and demanding better times. So if you find yourself sad and down with all that's going on? Cry out. G-d is awaiting your call.

Credit to Rabbi Tzvi Freeman of for the beautiful adaptation of the Rebbe's words
