Why the Lamplighter?

​

In the olden times, before electric lighting, someone was tasked with walking the streets to ignite the street lamps one at a time. The lamps would then illuminate the path for those around it.

​

At Chabad at UChicago we are Lamplighters. Each student that walks through the door is a lamp that can illuminate and impact their those around them. We just need to ignite their flame. 

​

You can be a Lamplighter. Every gift will impact a Jewish student at UChicago.

 

Whether it's a Shabbat dinner, Torah class, dorm Mezuzah subsidized, Chanukah on the Quad or any of the many programs and events, lives are changed at Chabad House, one lamp at a time.
