Questions? You’ll feel right at home.
Our services are welcoming, easy to follow, and open to every Jew, whatever your background or level of experience.
Will I be able to follow the services? Are they all in Hebrew?
The services are in Hebrew and English. We use Hebrew/English prayer books with translation and transliteration, making it easy to follow and join in. Rabbi Kotlarsky adds humor, inspiration, and meaningful explanations throughout.
Will I feel comfortable if I have little Jewish background?
Absolutely. Chabad is warm, friendly, and non-judgmental. People come from every background and level of observance. Labels are for clothing, not for people. At Chabad, we are one family.
Do I need to be a member or buy tickets?
No. Every Jew is already a member. There are no membership dues or tickets required, and no one is turned away due to lack of funds. Your voluntary support is always appreciated and helps us keep our doors open to all.
Are children welcome?
Yes. Children are an important part of our community. We offer a fun and meaningful program for children ages 3–12 while adults attend services, with age-appropriate activities, stories, songs, and snacks.
What security measures are in place?
We take security very seriously. Security procedures are in place throughout the High Holidays, and armed guards will be present at High Holiday services.
We would love to welcome you.
Reserve so we can prepare a comfortable place for you and your family. No one is ever turned away due to lack of funds.
