Welcome to Chabad Jewish Community of UCSF

The Chabad Jewish Community at UCSF, led by Rabbi Yisroel and Hadas Zaetz, aims to create a sense of belonging and community for Jewish students and faculty. We offer a variety of social, educational and spiritual programs, for Jews of all backgrounds. While in college, students are exposed to new ideas and experiences and Chabad seeks to ensure that students graduate as stronger and more empowered Jews than when they entered.

The Chabad on Campus in SF also services Jewish students from various schools in the city- SFSU, Hastings School of Law, USF, University of the Pacific, and City College SF.
