Chabad and College Religious Identity

Chabad, which has more than 3,500 centers in more than 85 countries, is known for encouraging less-observant Jews to incrementally engage with their religious identity. Critics say it’s an effort to make Jews more Orthodox, but Chabad adamantly contests that. The results of the new study, “Chabad on Campus,” sponsored by the conservative-leaning Hertog Foundation, bear out Chabad’s claim, according to Rosen.
