Dear Friend, As the exciting new season rolls in, we are delighted to deliver our all-new program guide for this year including a dazzling array of holiday programs, lectures, workshops and events custom- made for you and our ever-expanding synagogue services and lively community Shabbat. When creating the Chabad-Lubavitch movement that you see today (4,000 emissaries all over the world, and counting), the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson of righteous memory, was motivated by his profound love for every Jew. Chabad Houses all over the world follow the central teaching of the Lubavitcher Rebbe- that all Jews are really one soul. This is evident at any one of our programs. At Chabad of Northern Palm Beach Island, you will always meet Jews from all walks of life. Because we don’t see labels, we see souls. You can be a part of our good work by supporting Chabad of Northern Palm Beach Island; a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Your contribution goes a long way toward establishing a strong, proud Jewish community in Palm Beach where no Jew is forgotten. Our online presence is strong and updated regularly at palmbeachjewish.com so you can easily find services and programs that you may not see in these pages. Or call us at 561-659-3884. We look forward to greeting you. Wishing you and yours a sweet and prosperous New Year!
