Inspired not only by the profound teachings but also by the boundless love and genuine concern of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Kulek's journey is deeply rooted in a commitment to view each person as a precious diamond. Shaped by this philosophy, he embraces his diverse biracial background, serving as a dedicated Chabad Shliach. Not only does he serve as the director of Chabad at the University of Hartford, fostering a warm home for students alongside his wife and 7 children, but he also collaborates with the university as a recognized Chabad Chaplain and a member of the G-d Squad, contributing to Cultural Diversity & Belonging within the Division of Student Success. Beyond the campus, Rabbi Kulek extends his outreach to the Hartford Police Department, working closely with police officers, and the Connecticut Department of Corrections, providing pastoral presence for both the incarcerated and correctional officers. His multifaceted approach, rooted in years of teaching students of all ages, embodies the Rebbe's teachings, fostering positive change and unity within diverse communities. It's important to note that the views and lessons expressed are personal and not in his official capacity as a chaplain with the DOC or HPD.
