On December 27, 2002 The Global News Service of the Jewish People reported that "the new Chabad-Lubavitch rabbi, [Rabbi Eitan Webb,] at Princeton University even called those who had visited his home only once for Shabbat dinner, offering holiday wishes and gently asking about their lives... Webb’s devotion offers a glimpse of Chabad’s signature method of outreach — personal attention and devotion to each Jew — that has attracted droves of followers around the country... 'At Chabad we use a phrase, ‘Every Jew is family,’ ' said Rabbi Hirsch Zarchi, 29, who heads the Chabad house at Harvard, where he is known to everyone as Hirschy... As Jewish organizations of all stripes wonder how to get young people more involved in Jewish life, Chabad’s approach appears to be working... Chabad is the 'fastest-growing Jewish presence on campus,' said an official with one Jewish organization... There currently are full-time Chabad houses on 61 college campuses across the United States. Chabad offers part-time programming at another 80 schools."
