Welcome Jewish visitors for the total solar eclipse!
We'd love to host you at the Chabad House, 821 S. Illinois Avenue. Come in to enjoy a quiet place to daven and learn, and enjoy complimentary drinks and snacks. There'll be bagel sandwiches available throughout the day.
The Chabad House is conveniently located within walking distance of the Amtrak train station and SIU Campus.
Please keep in mind that local Kosher food options are very limited. We'll be happy to provide you with meals if you let us know in advance.
For a safe and comfortable experience for everyone, please fill out the sign-up form ahead of time. This form includes just about everything mentioned on this page. It'll be helpful if you fill it out sooner rather than later. When we update the form closer to April with more specific options, we'll make sure to let you know! Sign up can be done right here
