Dear Friends,
It is with great excitement and enthusiasm that I share the news with you: Chabad has Found a New Home!
Almost 3 years ago my wife Fruma & I left Brooklyn, NY and arrived 'on the shores' of the Tri Valley to found the Chabad Jewish Center. With G‑d's help, during this short period of time we have seen a beautiful community flourish and many new institutions take root. From the ever growing Jewish Women's Circle (CLICK HERE to watch the 8 min. film) and popular communal holiday celebrations to the thriving Chabad Hebrew School & Preschool (CLICK HERE to watch the slide show) to the tens of families who have taken meaningful steps towards bringing more Judaism into their lives - the number of programs keep multiplying and the impact Chabad is making in our community keeps spreading.
So the time to expand and add a sense of permanence has arrived. With G‑d's help, we have found an incredible 9084 sq. ft. corner lot with two separate buildings and two 2-car garages totaling roughly 4000 sq. ft. of usable indoor space! This new facility will serve as a home for our: community synagogue, Gan Chabad preschool, adult education courses, Shabbat & holiday dinners, Jewish Women's Circle activities, housing for the Rabbi and family, and an apartment for Chabad's youth directors and preschool/Hebrew school teachers.
We only have 50 days left to raise the necessary funds to close escrow and make this dream a reality. OUR CAMPAIGN GOAL IS: $210,000 & WE'RE ALREADY MORE THAN 10% THERE. We have divided our goal into 300 units of $700 and we are inviting and encouraging you to take as many units as you can. Somepeople have generously taken 15, 10, 5, or even 1 unit - every little bit counts.
So stay tuned to the updates. When you're called upon, please join us and become a partner in building an everlasting beacon of light for the future of Judaism in our community. Many dedication opportunities will be made available.
I look forward to sharing many more exciting updates as they unfold.
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Raleigh Resnick
