Chabad of Corvallis & OSU — Jewish life at Oregon State University

They tried to dim our light. Let's make Chanukah brighter than ever.

$4,652

raised of $15,000 goal

At 1am last night, the menorah was returned to our lawn. We truly believe it was returned because the people who stole it saw how much it meant to the community. Thank G-d there is no permanent damage, but this occurrence has left a mark on our hearts.

The theft of our menorah left us with a strong decision to make this Chanukah brighter and stronger than ever. They can't dim our light.

Thank you to everyone who gave, shared and reached out. Your support has meant so much to our students and community, and it reminded us that light always dispels darkness.

This also showed us how much we need to protect Chabad. Please keep giving. Your gift now goes toward making this Chanukah bigger and brighter than ever, and toward upgraded security for Chabad, so our students and community can keep celebrating openly and safely.

Thank you to our donors
