The Cohens, an observant Jewish family in Rochester, have dedicated their time and effort to founding The Chabad House, a welcoming space for those in RIT’s Jewish community.

The Chabad House is used to host Shabbat services, dinners, and many other celebrations and holidays, providing an inclusive environment for students at RIT and others of all ages and backgrounds to come together and connect, learn, grow, and deepen their understanding of Jewish culture and tradition, and where they can feel at home and like part of a family.

Their dedication and passion have had a profound impact on the community.
