The meals and events organized by Chabad are an occasion for students to meet and socialize and many times new friendships are created.
One of these encounters blossomed into a wedding, when Nadav and Elinor, both students from Israel learning in Rome, got married back in Israel. They first met under the Sukkah at Chabad in Piazza Bologna.
Chabad strives through its programs to grow the Jewish identity of the students in order that they should marry in the fold.
