Chabad of Port Washington, founded in 1991 with the guidance and blessing of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, is nurtured and supported by concerned members of communities on Long Island's North Shore. Chabad is dedicated to the re-establishment and strengthening of our Judaic faith, principles, identity, commitment and pride.
Chabad House is a unique and vibrant center, providing a home away from home for any man, woman or youngster who walks through its doors. It's Rabbis, staff and volunteer workers are pioneers in the most literal sense, treading a path and showing the way to bring the light of Torah and Jewish tradition to all Jews. Acceptance of every Jew on their own level, regardless of their level of religious commitment or practice, has become a trademark of Chabad. And by blending traditional values with modern day techniques, we have been successful in reaching even the most alienated, helping them appreciate their roots and identify with their Judaisn with pride.
Thanks to G-d's infinite blessings and the generous support and involvement of members of the community, Chabad of Port Washington has grown rapidly during these ten years. Three years ago we embarked on a new, exciting project: The establishment of an impressive educational campus and Jewish day school in Port Washington. This impressive center has enabled us to do much more. It includes a shul, preschool, day school, Jewish Library and social hall. This year we plan to complete a second phase of construction that will include five classrooms, a gym/lunchroom, science and computer labs, general studies library, music center, resource room, and an ultra-modern mikvah. It's doors will always be open to every single Jew, regardless of their affiliation and background or lack thereof.
