Funding

Shabbos House is supported by contributions from friends of Capital Chabad, Parents, Alumni and Students.

We are an independent student center unaffiliated with University at Albany, with no funding from National Chabad. We receive small program grants from University at Albany HILLEL and the L’CHAIM student group, and support from Capital District Chabad Centers, our parent organization.

More Bang for your Buck! With minimal overhead and salary expenses, your contribution goes directly to benefit the students with dinners, atmosphere, programming and events.

Our name notwithstanding, Shabbos House operates ALL week, with numerous weekday events, and is always open and welcoming to individual students for study, friendship and discussions, or to assist with urgent needs.

As the crowd has grown, so have the expenses. It costs far more to serve a Shabbos meal to 130-180 students in 2010, than it cost to serve 25-30 students in 1997. Attendance at all our events has increased, and so have the costs.

Shabbos House is very grateful for the generous support and appreciation from our ‘extended family’ - YOU MAKE IT POSSIBLE! Contributions payable to “Shabbos House - Chabad Center” are tax-deductible.
