Howdy! It is that time of the year where Chabad at Texas A&M is having their annual match campaign. The theme is spreadthelight, so I'm going to talk about how Chabad has been one of the biggest and brightest lights in my life.
My experience in college would not have been the same if it wasn't for the Jewish Aggie family that Manya, Rabbi Yossi, and the kids foster.
When I think back over the 3.5 years I have been in college, I think of how Chabad has shaped my experience in the most positive way.
I think of all the delicious Shabbat meals surrounded by my closest friends, all the amazing educational opportunities I have been able to be a part of like Sinai Scholars and Birthright.
I think of all the matzoh-ball soup Manya makes when any Jewish Aggie is sick, all the hugs I have gotten when it's been a rough day or when it's been a great day, and most importantly, the unconditional love and support I have received from the day I walked through the door.
If you are able, please consider donating to Chabad's annual match campaign, because Chabad is the heart and soul of the Jewish Aggie Community at Texas A&M, and they have brought so much light and joy into my life and the lives of so many others.
