Stellenbosch campus rabbi caters for growing Jewish presence

Jewish students at Stellenbosch University have more than tripled in number over the past five years, growing from 40 in 2019 to more than 150, creating the need for a campus rabbi.

Rabbi Chananyah Duthie is already comfortable as the Stellenbosch University Chabad on Campus rabbi, having completed his BCom at the university. Although he and his wife, Eliana, have already established themselves with students, having arrived in Cape Town three months ago, they will only be made official on campus in the new year.
