Q: This doesn't seem like Chabad - isn't Chabad supposed to be free and welcoming to all? Why is there a cost for Chabad Brandeis 360°?
A: Absolutely! Being welcoming to all has been a core value at Chabad of Brandeis since 2001, and it only grows stronger each year.
At the same time, there is a financial cost to create this experience, and we are inviting parents to partner with us in this comprehensive educational experience, as they are direct beneficiaries.
While a Jewish college campus organization like this - let alone a campus Chabad - is the first of its kind and may be hard to conceptualize, it follows the same organizational approach as other Chabad educational institutions, like Day Schools and Hebrew Schools, that have families partnership in the educational experience.
Most importantly, financial support ensures that no student is denied this opportunity due to financial constraints.
