Social Activities in San Luis Obispo

While Cal Poly is in session, we hold Shabbat dinners every week. We primarily host students but welcome all community members to join. During any breaks (i.e. winter, spring, and summer break) please email office@chabadslo.com to see if there is a dinner. Shabbat Dinner Times: Winter: 6:30 pm, Summer 7:30 pm. You can always email Sophie at office@chabadslo.com to ensure there are no changes. We hold dinner in our tent, and at night it can be a little chilly, so please dress appropriately. We get many students for Friday night dinner, so please expect a lively and energetic atmosphere, rather than a more quiet evening.
