Mission
The primary purpose of Chabad Student Group is to offer the unique approach it has to Jewish living, knowledge, and practice to the student community at Case Western Reserve University. Chabad provides vibrant Judaism, imbued with the depth and vitality of Chassidic thought, philosophy, and Jewish Mysticism, and within the framework of traditional Judaism. Our objectives include but are not limited to; educational, ritual, and social activities, in addition to counseling and spiritual guidance to individual students. Our organization is based on Chassidic philosophy, as taught locally at Chabad's Jewish Student Center directed by Rabbi Mendy and Sara Alevsky. Our philosophy does not concern itself with the background, upbringing or 'denomination' that most Jewish organizations utilize; rather we believe that that every single Jew deserves an equal opportunity to experience and enjoy their heritage. All programs and events of Chabad Student Group are within the framework of Halachah, Jewish law, as transmitted by the Rabbis throughout the generations dating back to Moses receiving the Torah at Mount Sinai. These goals shall be achieved through weekly Torah (Bible) classes, monthly women's programs, lectures on various Jewish issues, and speakers for religious and cultural events. We will also provide Shabbat and Holiday services, Glatt (the highest Kosher standards) Kosher dinners, Jewish holiday programs, and Shabbatons (unique weekends).

Membership Benefits
Being part of a large Jewish community enjoying food and culture and having fun whether its on a High Holiday or just a Shabbat dinner or making challah for the needy.

The Indian Film Club

USG - Arts/Media, Cultural

Website Mission Membership Benefits

Mission
At the Case Western Reserve University Indian Film Club, our mission is to create a vibrant and inclusive community that celebrates the rich tapestry of Indian cinema, culture, and music. Our purpose is to provide a platform for students to come together and experience the magic of Indian cinema in a lively and engaging environment and learn more about the complexities of our culture.

We strive to foster a sense of unity and cultural appreciation by organizing screenings, celebrations, advocacy events (for social justice-based movies), and cinema-analysis workshops that showcase the diversity and dynamism of Indian cinema. Through these activities, we aim to bridge gaps, break cultural barriers, and create lasting connections among students from various backgrounds.

Our mission is not only to entertain but also to educate. We are committed to promoting a deeper understanding of the historical, social, and artistic aspects of Indian cinema, fostering an appreciation for the industry's evolution, its reflection of the artistic reverberation and progression of a post-colonial country, and its impact on global popular culture. For example, we may do so by holding workshops to examine the link between Indian immigrant identity and Indian cinema.

At the heart of our mission is the belief that Indian films transcend borders and have the power to bring people together. We aspire to provide a space where students can immerse themselves in the colors, music, and narratives of Indian cinema, cultivating a sense of joy, curiosity, and cultural exchange. We are sure that this club will bring happiness to the significant Indian (Asian) – American population at CWRU and students from the many other backgrounds it can enrich.

As we embark on this journey, we envision the Indian Film Club as a place where creativity thrives, friendships blossom, and a sense of belonging is nurtured. Through our events and activities, we aim to create memories that resonate long after the music fades, leaving an indelible mark on the cultural landscape of our university.

We hope you join us on our journey too!
