Chabad Evanston @ Northwestern — 2005+
This was my Chabad “home” while at Northwestern. My interest and appreciation for Judaism mostly started here. Although I initially came mainly for the chicken, rice, and soup, I kept coming back because I really enjoyed the experience (even times when the chicken was heavily sauced).
I’ve spent a lot of time with Rabbi Klein — he led my Birthright Israel trip and is the AEPi faculty advisor and I saw him regularly at Chabad — and am glad that we have become good friends over the years. He’s really good at making sure everyone has a great time and sprinkles in just the right amount of Jewish learning.
He’s also great at answering questions. I’ve asked him a million nitty Jewish law questions and of course needed tips on the best Evanston-area Kosher chicken and pizza (NOT combined!) restaurants.
