Parents

Welcome to the Jewish Deac Family!

Wake Forest is home to a vibrant and growing Jewish community—one that celebrates proudly, supports one another, and makes every student feel like they truly belong. Whether it’s hundreds of students gathered for brisket dinner or a quiet moment at Café Chabad, your child has a seat and a home here.

At Chabad, we’re your child’s Jewish home base, offering warmth, support, and yes, plenty of brisket and matzah ball soup when it’s needed most.

We’re here for your child every step of the way, and we’re here for you too. If there’s ever anything you need, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

We can’t wait to connect and share some nachat!
