About
Since 2005, Chabad of the Lower East Side has been a vibrant and welcoming presence in one of the most historic Jewish neighborhoods in New York City—the very place where Judaism first took root for countless Jewish immigrants in the 20th Century.
Led by Rabbi Yisroel and Chani, along with their six children, our Chabad center on Essex Street has become a warm home for Jews of all backgrounds. With dedication, love, and a deep sense of mission, the family has been nurturing the local Jewish community.
From Shabbat dinners that bring neighbors together, to holiday celebrations, women’s events, Shabbat Kiddush, and a wide range of educational classes, Chabad Lower East Side continues to strengthen Jewish life and identity in this iconic neighbourhood.
Whether you're a longtime resident, a newcomer, or just visiting, you're always welcome at Chabad.
