Every person was placed in this world with a unique contribution towards filling the world with light.
At Chabad, we seek to engage and empower every person with Jewish wisdom and values to utilize their skills, talents and resources to make the world a better, brighter place.
Chabad serves all segments of the Jewish community. Everyone is welcome regardless of their personal level of religious observance. The philosophy is in keeping with the Chabad-Lubavitch approach of joy, scholarship and unconditional acceptance and love for every Jew.
Chabad is under the spiritual guidance of Rabbi Avrohom Blesofsky, a warm, caring and energetic individual, who grew up in Brooklyn and since moving here, has brought a new level of energy and color to the local community. The rabbi's approach is that Torah must be presented and experienced in a modern, relevant context and made available to each individual on their own level. Rabbi Blesofsky and his wife, Malky, are emissaries of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of blessed memory.
The services are traditional, and are conducted in a joyous, casual atmosphere. Children are included and most welcome. Many of those who attend cannot read Hebrew, yet everyone feels at home. The prayer book is bi-lingual and various English readings are included in the service. Song and commentary add meaning and participation to the prayers.
The JAMS Hebrew School Program, under the talented leadership of Malky Blesofsky, translates the Chabad warmth and spirit to the youngsters. The children look forward to attending and are taught, in addition to Hebrew reading, the meaning of our rich heritage and the joys of being Jewish.
At Chabad, you will acquire lifelong friendships, an opportunity for spiritual growth, and most importantly, a chance to be a part of your Jewish community. Please feel free to visit us for services or any other program, or just stop in to say hello.
