Chabad-Lubavitch of Northampton is a Jewish community hub serving the Upper Pioneer Valley and students at Hampshire, Amherst, Smith, and Mount Holyoke Colleges. The organization offers Shabbat dinners, classes, holiday services and events, mezuzahs for dorm rooms, counseling and guidance for students, and a chicken soup delivery service for sick students. Its Chabad House is described as a welcoming environment for people to ask questions without feeling judged, and no prior knowledge about Judaism is required to attend classes or holiday events. The Kravitskys are recognized chaplains on local campuses and work with each college's spiritual life office.
