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!

The Journey Home
Afterlife is a very rational, natural consequence of the order of things.After all, nothing is ever lost—even the body only transforms into earth. But nothing is lost. So too, the person you are is never lost. That person—that soul—only returns to its origin. If your soul became acutely attached to the material world during its stay here, then it must painfully rip itself away to make the journey back. But if it...
