Chabad at Emory — Local services in Decatur

Chabad at Emory isn’t about money at all. Miriam and Zalman are the kind of people who make you feel at home the second you walk in, no matter who you are or what your situation is. Whether you donate or not, they treat everyone with the same warmth and care. They genuinely care about every student and go out of their way to make sure you feel valued and included. It’s obvious how much heart they put into everything they do. And the vibe is the total opposite of cliquey. You don’t need to be from New York or any specific background to fit in, it’s a really open, welcoming space where students from all different places feel...

It's all about MONEY - if you donate, Miriam and Zalman will welcome you with open arms. If not, they barely pay attention to you.

I understand they need money to run their organization, but they shouldn't assume everyone who comes to Emory has money nor should that be the way in which they decide to treat people.

Oh, and if you're not an entitled Jew who hails from New York, then forget about fitting in. Chabad has a cliquey feel that makes you feel unwelcome if you don't fit this...

Such a fantastic place for Judaism! One of their kids (I’m pretty sure his name was Doved or something) called me out on the street and asked me to put on some Jewish Tefillin. Really had a big impact in my life, and have been coming ever since. Thank you so much to the Rabbi and his whole Family...
