A Word From the Rabbi

Additionally, I thank our Chazzanim, Gaboim, Machzor Sponsors, Youth Directors, staff & volunteers, for enhancing the services. We're truly grateful to Dr. Muller and all who participated in the purchasing of aliyot, thus enabling Chabad to continue its vital work and expand its reach in the Five Towns. You can play an active role in our growth and be a partner in the mitzvos we do every day. It's not too late to become our partner (member) and we welcome & encourage your participation! Our doors are always open and our congregants include all families from every conceivable segment of the Jewish community: Conservative, Orthodox, Reform, Sefardi, Ashkenazi, observant and unaffiliated. Having an active partnership family will make us stronger as a group, as well as help place our shul on stronger financial footings.

Best wishes for a Chag Sameach, Rabbi Wolowik After such meaningful High Holidays, I'd like to express our gratitude to HAFTR High School on behalf of the hundreds of adults and children who have benefited from Rosh Hashana & Yom Kippur Services & youth programs. I'd also like to thank the honorable Mayor Parise and the Village of Cedarhurst for granting the approval for the use of HAFTR, enabling all to experience enjoyable and comfortable prayer services.
