About
Rabbi Eli and Chaya Citron (along with their daughter Leah) moved to Portland in the fall of 2022 to establish Chabad on Campus SW Portland.

We are a Jewish Student Center serving the Jewish community in the urban Colleges throughout SW Portland, including Portland State University, Oregon Health and Science University, and Portland Community College, with the main focus being on Lewis and Clark.

We accept every Jew. Whether you're religious or not affiliated at all, whether you eat a bagel with lox every day, or have never heard of pastrami on rye, we're here for you.

Our goal is to support the Jewish student community by providing opportunities to get in touch with our heritage. Including educational classes, holiday programming, communal experiences, Jewish retreats, and sometimes just being a listening ear. We are here for you, welcome to your Jewish home away from home!

Begin with Alef
At Sinai, He said, “Let us bond together. Let us embrace in these mitzvahs, commune in this Torah, and in them we will be one.” But He is an infinite, unknowable G‑d. If we cannot know Him, how can we bond with Him? And so, when He came to us in His Torah at Mount Sinai, He began with an alef. And when we begin to learn, we begin with an alef. In that first, infinitesimal...
