Everyone agreed it was awesome: the food, music, contests and fabulous prize drawings. Best of all? charity was raised to distribute to important charities including the rescue and rebuilding efforts in Japan.

Emily Mydosh, Mikell Senger, Anna Bitterbaum and Dan Lazrus each spoke movingly, giving personal context and dimension to their celebration of this rite of passage at this age. A lavish meal, spirited dancing and fun atmosphere made this an unforgettable affair.
Chabad is currently accepting applications from BU students who wish to similarly celebrate their Bar/Bat Mitzvahs in the celebration to be held in Fall of 2011.

Established in 1985, Chabad of Binghamton has emerged as one of the largest and most vibrant campus organizations in the US.
This brief clip featuring a few events in 2009-2010, captures a bit of the magic students at Binghamton have been experiencing for a quarter of a century.

It’s an electrifying sight: well over 1300 collegiates gathered in one room to celebrate Shabbat. Weeks of planning and hard work on the part of dozens of students paid off as BU once again maintained its record and gathered the largest group of Jews in one Shabbat celebration. The program included a capella selections by BU’s Kaskeset and Maryland’s Rak Shalom, inspiring words by Rabbi Dov Greenberg, Kiddush, Hamotzi and a traditional Shabbat dinner spiced with song and a feeling of communal belonging and Jewish pride. The program was spearheaded by Chabad and co-sponsored and organized with Hillel. The Jewish student leadership and community at BU rocks!
