Harvard Chabad.

Which one is more important for you to say your speech that you have prepared, which you can say it.A few minutes later I was listening to someone or the let's get to someone give them satisfaction and then say you're speech ואהבת לרעך כמוך I don't think you know what it means to be a leader a מורה דרך

Can confirm this Chabad is very welcoming to grad students. 5/5 on every metric.

This organization always makes lots of noise during their events, often late at night (even after midnight!), singing extremely loudly, and not allowing people in the houses nearby to sleep. Very disrespectful to the people living nearby!

Chabad at Harvard has been the first place where I have found Jewish community and an accepting space to learn and grow. I was not raised in the tradition but that didn’t matter - Chabad showed me that every Jew is family no matter your background or level of engagement. I know I have a place to go for every shabbos where I can participate in tradition, song, delicious food and be surrounded by thoughtful conversation and kind family and friends. Truly grateful to be welcomed into a community lead by such an inspiring family! Thank you Zarchi’s for everything you do!!

Harvard Chabad is one of the most warm and inviting places in all of Cambridge. They provide a home away from home, consistently make you feel cared for, and create a welcoming space for all undergrads, grads, and Cambridge residents alike.

Chabad is the most welcoming place in Harvard Square. Chabad hosts nice services and delicious meals on Shabbat and holidays. Chabad also plans many events for undergrads, grad students, and community members. I highly recommend coming to Chabad if you are looking for Jewish community and spiritual connection in Cambridge!

If I could give Harvard Chabad more than 5 stars I would. It is a warm, fun, and wonderful place to be. We have always felt welcome by the Rabbi, Rebeztin and their family and going to Chabad on Shabbat (and sometimes we get lucky enough to go more often) is always the highlight of our week. We are forever grateful.

Warm, welcoming, and kind. Always a pleasure to visit, with truly exceptional events for all (young professionals, families, students). Sincerely grateful to have this gem in our neighborhood!

This Chabad hosts Chinese dinners on Tuesday night. What they fail to mention on their website is that (unlike the Harvard Hillel) their events are for Harvard undergrads only. So having just moved to the area, I made an honest mistake and came to the event thinking that there would be Mincha/Maariv afterwards. I have no issue with the fact that their events are mostly for undergrads only. What I found completely inappropriate was how “Rabbi” Zarchi handled the situation. As I’m sitting at the table talking to some undergrads, he pulls me aside and says that I have to sit away from the undergrads because someone complained that they are uncomfortable by my presence. Ok I’m fine with that. (BTW I don’t believe his claim that someone complained since I was having a very nice conversation with the undergrads.) So I move, and as I am about to sit down somewhere else, the Rabbi motions to me as if to say “Come, sit here with me.” I smile and motion that it’s ok, I’ll sit with some other people who look my age. He then comes over to me and tells me that I have to leave. He proceeded to berate me for giving him “a nasty look” and accused me of not listening to him. I believe that there may have been a miscommunication. I thought he just meant that I had to move away from the undergrads, not sit in the EXACT seat he motioned to. (Reminder that I thought his motion was just an invite to come sit near him, which I clearly misunderstood). However, I’m not sure what about my smile and wave said to him that I’m giving him a “nasty” look and ignoring him. It would have been far more appropriate for him to wait until I was done talking with other people and quietly inform me that future events are only for undergrads. Instead he had to embarrass and berate me. I have been to over 20 Chabads around the world; never have I felt so unwelcomed. I have never met such a hostile, cold Chabad Rabbi before. I would advise all non-undergrads to stay far away from this place and come to Harvard Hillel where everyone is more than welcomed and treated with dignity.

Great shabbat experience. Feel like home.
