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

Our Menorah Was Stolen. Help Us Bring the Light Back.

$3,982

raised of $15,000 goal

Since October 7th, an 8 foot menorah outside Chabad at OSU in Corvallis has stood as a beacon for students and community members alike. It is a symbol of Jewish pride, and a reminder that we will live our Judaism openly, no matter what is happening in the world. Many have shared that passing it brings them warmth and comfort.

That is why we are heartbroken to share that, with Chanukah approaching, our beloved menorah has been stolen last night. Our camera did not capture the theft, and we are working closely with law enforcement to find those responsible.

We will not let another day pass without a menorah on the lawn of Chabad. Help us show that light always dispels darkness and that hate never wins.

Any additional funds raised will be used to make this Chanukah even bigger and brighter than ever, with increased security.

Thank you to our donors
