Congregation Chabad is a family-oriented synagogue consisting of members of many diverse backgrounds, including students and community members. Services are conducted year-round in conformance with traditional Jewish law and practice. Prayer books are also available in English.
The Congregation strives to provide a place where lifecycle events can be both celebrated and commemorated in a traditional manner. Chabad offers rabbinical advice, including information on koshering homes; a place for the provision of religious articles, at or below cost; visitor hospitality; Shabbat and holiday hospitality; meals; counseling; and group or individual classes (see CHS).
Chabad House facilities and programs that are open to all Jews, students and visitors alike appreciate the “Home Away From Home” atmosphere of Chabad.
Our congregants play an active role in the local Jewish community. Holiday highlights from the past year include shofar making at the JCC’s ‘Apples and Honey’ event, Chanukah programs, the distribution of hundreds of shalach manot (gift) baskets for Purim, and a Passover matzah bakery, in which more than 300 children participated.
