Rabbi Eliyahu and Mushkie Cowen (nee Stempel) were recently appointed as Shluchim to Humboldt State University (HSU) in Northern California.
The couple will bring Judaism and programming to the few hundred Jewish students at the University located 279 miles north of San Francisco on the North Coast of California, known for its natural beauty and relative remoteness.
Going on Shlichus has been a dream of Cowen’s ever since he was a child growing up in West Hartford, CT, and the couple is heading out with a positive attitude even though “the location is hours away from the nearest kosher food, Mikveh, minyan, chinuch and other Lubavitchers.”
“There is a stronger, more passionate dream amongst our kids today which is to one day to join the big leagues of the Rebbe’s Shluchim,” he says.
The Cowens were appointed by Rabbi Shlomo Cunin, Head Shliach of the West Coast.

Judging from the great job you both did in CGI Edmonton, you will be turning Yiddishe neshomas toward their Jewish roots very shortly after your arrival in the boondocks! Wishing that all the brochos of the Rebbe should be fulfilled, and your efforts should hasten the arrival of Moshiach Tzidkenu!! Best always!!
Yashar Koach, all the best you guys!
