About
Since 2005, Chabad of the Lower East Side has been a warm, welcoming presence in the historic neighborhood where Jewish immigrant life first took root in NYC. Led by Rabbi Yisroel and Chani and their six children, our Essex Street center has become a home for Jews of all backgrounds — through Shabbat dinners, holiday celebrations, women's events, Kiddush, and classes that keep Jewish life thriving here.
