Today's adherents of Chabad have come to be known Lubavitchers, after town in Russia from which they originated. Chabad Lubavictch has many outposts throughout the fifty United States as well as the rest of the world, bringing Jews closer to their heritage and one another. For more information may we again please suggest you visit Chabad in Cyberspace . CoLL began by locating Chabad House near Tulane University so that it could see to the needs of the Jewish students, as well as provide a shul for all Jews in the Uptown area. On-campus programs include a kosher meal plan, numerous classes in Jewish philosphy and observances, and Shabbat meals at the Student Program Director's home.
Confidential counseling is also available for family and personal matters.
CoLL's latest addition is Chabad Center in Metairie which provides services for that growing community much in the same way as Chabad House does for New Orleans. Another major CoLL project is Torah Academy, the only full time Jewish day school covering Kindergarten through 8th grade, with a special program for two year olds. Started in 1992, the school offers the finest secular and religious education for Jewish children of all backgrounds in New Orleans and is fully approved and accredited by the State of Louisiana. As you can see, Chabad of Louisiana provides for the spiritual and educational needs of the Jews of Louisiana. Registration is available in Metairie at the Casablanca and Kosher Cajun restaurants and the Chabad Center, and Uptown at the Chabad House.
