Welcome to Queens!
Queens College, as in all other aspects of its beautiful campus, has a vibrant and welcoming Jewish community. With so many Jewish resources available to you, we urge you to check them out and take advantage. Chabad offers a compelling, rich and meaningful Jewish experience to all who come in contact with it. We invite you to come spend a Shabbat with us and experience it yourself – we are glad to arrange a student to host you.
We also serve students from other colleges on a limited basis, including S. John’s University, Queensborough Community College, Lander’s College, Yeshiva University and Stern College.
