Building a center for all of us will take each of us.

Chabad of the Shore creates a welcoming atmosphere for people of diverse backgrounds and beliefs, fostering an open and personal Jewish experience.The new Chabad Center for Jewish Life will deepen this ability to embrace and enhance our Jewish identities. And as an iconic building along Ocean Avenue, the Center will invite anyone to walk in and feel as if they’ve always belonged.

Our faith can move mountains.
Our unity can move generations.

Just as we are bound by faith and culture, we share the responsibility to create an environment in which our Jewish heritage can thrive.

Let’s unite to build a place where all of us can gather as a community, for holidays and life-cycle events, cultural activities and social gatherings.
