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 />
