Jewish students will receive a warm welcome for the new academic year as the Jewish Pride tour visits campuses across North America, bringing with it a jolt of joy and positivity. 

Jewish Life Oswego will host the upbeat traveling Jewish festival on September 19 from 11 am to 4 pm on the SUNY Oswego Quad.

The Let HERE Be Light tour is being organized by Chabad on Campus in order to beam positive vibes and uplift Jewish students after the challenging climate they faced last year on campuses nationwide, organizers said. With a focus on joy, Jewish pride, and positivity, the tour seeks to bring light to the entire campus community.  

“We are so excited to host the Let HERE Be Light tour,” said Rabbi Madvig, director of Chabad of Oswego. “This is a chance for students of all backgrounds to celebrate Jewish life with fun, hands-on, memorable experiences that will shine throughout the year.” 

The tour is traveling along four routes and visiting 50 campuses throughout 18 states in the US and Canada. At each stop, a branded tour van operated by rabbinical students will roll onto campus with positive energy and empower Jewish students to live the Joy of Judaism. The Festival will offer:

• Jewish Craft Hands-on Workshops & Displays
• Shofar Factory
• Giveaways
• Tefillin Booth
• Jewish Music
