Chabad on Campus, a student organization aimed at providing a traditional Jewish experience and a home away from home for Jewish students and the student body as a whole, is requesting $3,050 to host an event called “Memories of a Child Survivor of the Holocaust.”
The funding would help to cover the food, lodging and travel for the speaker, as well as the standard speaker’s fee.
