The algorithm confirmed it.
The top 3 genres this year: Proud. Jewish. Connected.
We streamed a lot of Jewish pride this year.
Thanks for being a part of it!
Onto bigger and better next year with our Chabad FGCU FAMILY.
Don’t let the light go out.
Every time our FGCjews come together, the light grows stronger.
Throwing it back to Latkes sizzling, jelly donut jabs, dreidel spinning, gelt flying, and warm apple cider — but most of all, hearts connected in the midst of a busy final season.
A deeply meaningful thank you to Alyson .wetzel for sharing your grandfather’s story as a Holocaust survivor, reminding us of the mission we carry to keep the Jewish flame alive, proud, and burning for generations to come.
And a huge smile and shout-out to Moussia for your adorable song, “I’m a Maccabee!” 🎶
Together, we are the light.

The message is clear.
The light of Chanukah has not gone out for over 3000 years.
Despite every attempt to extinguish it, it's still shining.
YOU are part of this eternal light.
Chanukah teaches us how to keep it going: by adding one candle at a time.
By growing, slowly and intentionally in our Judaism.
One mitzvah.
One moment of learning.
One choice to grow.
This is how we carry on the light of generations and feel it inside of us way past Chanukah!
👉 Add one candle to your Judaism this week.
May the light of Chanukah shine inside of us all year

How would you describe being with so many Jewish eagles in one room celebrating, laughing, and empowering each other?
We are still on a high from mega shabbat!
Joyful. Heartwarming. A strong night of resilience - are some of the words students used to describe it.
We bonded, we laughed, we strenghtened each other in merit of the hostages and left stronger.
Thanks to each of you who joined.
YOU are the passionate Jewish leaders of today! Keep being proud and setting a Jewish example for others.
It was so powerful to hear Shachar's cool stories of his Jewish strength, and how he shares it with fellow students, even while on vacation in Puerto Rico.
Thank you to our club President, Nicole, for going above and beyond in making sure each detail was thought of and carried out smoothly.
Special thank you to Chef Fraser for joining and all your assistance to Chabad club running smoothly.
Huge thank you to all our student volunteers for helping pull off this memorable shabbat!
Truly the highlight of the semester!!

The most fav event of the year! (Album 1)
And for good reason:
Besides for loving challah, we connected, united, and uplifted each other!!
All you KNEAD is:
Yeast to RISE up and keep growing in our Judaism
Sugar 'cuz our Judaism is SWEET
Oil to stay ABOVE and proud whenever, wherever
Flour, the hard work & EFFORTS are part of the process
Water, our TORAH, is our source of life
We all left ALIVE! PROUD! JOYFUL! Cuz Am Yisrael chai. We are never alone. YOU are never alone!
