They'll know your name by week two.
In the summer of 2005, Rabbi Tzvi and Rivky Bronchtain moved to Las Vegas with one mission: give every Jewish student at UNLV a place to belong. Twenty years, hundreds of Shabbat dinners and countless late-night conversations later, their home is the beating heart of Jewish life on campus.
Born in New York City, raised in Crown Heights, studied in Israel, Chicago and Brooklyn and ordained in 2004. Ask him anything — seriously, anything.
An L.A. native who studied in Jerusalem and Brooklyn and ran programs for a Jewish high school before UNLV. She holds everything together — and runs the best kitchen in Vegas.
Shabbat is the main event.
Close the laptop. Every Friday night the Chabad House fills up with students, candles, a ridiculous amount of food and the best conversation of your week. First time? Perfect.
