Rabbi's Message

Dear Friend,

Exactly 3,330 years ago, the Jewish people received the Torah from G-d at Mt. Sinai. Each year on the holiday of Shavu'os, this historic event is re-lived as the Ten Commandments are read from the Torah.
At Chabad House Jewish Center, we offer various events for every age. They all include food for your brain, and foods for your stomach!

The main shebang is the annual reading of the Ten commandments followed by a brunch/luncheon & Ice cream party.

You can find more information below, and here. Rochy & the kids join me in wishing you a happy Shavu'os,
— Rabbi Mendy

"Brunch" will be so big... It'll practically be a huge "Lunch!"

Come with your ENTIRE family - Seniors, Babies... And everyone in between! - to hear the 10 Commandments read from the Torah!
