I'M A PARENT AND HERE'S WHY I GIVE<br />
I believe being twenty in this day and age is very<br />
complicated. It is a tech world that is not realistic. The<br />
college students are constantly challenged with an<br />
onslaught of media that holds many moments of<br />
exclusion. The current world makes others look far<br />
more important than they actually are. College students<br />
have so much information that does not always make<br />
them feel wanted and at ease.<br />
As my daughter joined Chabad, she was welcomed into<br />
a family that accepted her and included her. She has<br />
dinners and activities that make her college experience<br />
feel like she is part of a family. She looks forward to<br />
going to the Chabad house, cooking, eating, decorating<br />
and planning events. She is part of a big family.<br />
Thoughts and discussions are open and honest<br />
understanding the college students’ trials and<br />
tribulations. Chabad at Chapman is welcoming.<br />
I am glad she was part of a study group, so she<br />
understands that Chabad has meaning, and it has a<br />
basis for learning. The tranquility and camaraderie have<br />
been enormous. I truly believe Chabad needs to<br />
embrace as many college students as they can. It is<br />
empowering.<br />
I can only praise what Rabbi Eliezer and Mushky have<br />
done with my daughter Danni Jo Martincak. She has<br />
grown and become a better person because of this<br />
Chabad family."<br />

I'M AN ALUM,<br />
THIS IS WHY I GIVE<br />
"Before the Rabbi and Mushky established the<br />
Chabad House in Orange, CA, I had no participation<br />
in Jewish life at Chapman. I lacked Jewish friends,<br />
which made celebrating the holidays a lonesome,<br />
unwanted affair.<br />
Thankfully, this ended quite suddenly during the<br />
<strong>Spring</strong> Semester of 2017. From the moment Rabbi<br />
Eliezar and Mushky moved in, I had discovered a<br />
Jewish home at Chapman.<br />
Not only did I find a place to celebrate Shabbat, or a<br />
place to observe the Passover seder, I also<br />
developed lifelong friendships among the other<br />
students gathered within the Gurary’s magnificently<br />
warm home.<br />
It seems nothing is beyond the scope of what Rabbi<br />
and Rebbetzin Gurary would be willing to do for the<br />
benefit of their students. For this, for the impact<br />
Chabad has had on my Chapman experience and<br />
beyond, and for their continued effect on Chapman’s<br />
campus, there is no cause I find more deserving of<br />
my support than Chabad at Chapman University."<br />
