Hot Kosher Dinners @ University Dining!
Chabad is proud to share that fresh kosher lunch and dinners will be served at university dining halls! These meals can be purchased with i-card credits, as part of the university meal plan, or by anyone with a CC payment, open to the public.
Rabbi Dovid Tiechtel has been working with the university dining for many years to make this happen. "This is a major breakthrough for Jewish life on campus," says Rabbi Tiechtel, director of Chabad at U of I, "this is an issue students and parents have been asking me about since I first moved here in 2003. And it's happening."
