Chabad of Park Slope has served as a beacon of light and a center for Jewish life and education in Brownstone Brooklyn since it was founded by the visionary couple Rabbi Shimon and Sarah Hecht in 1987.
Chabad of Park Slope is a vibrant and inclusive community in the heart of Brooklyn. Motivated by a profound love for every Jew and spurred by a boundless optimism, Chabad of Park Slope offers an impressive array of programs, classes and services to educate, inspire, and uplift Jews from all walks of life with unconditional love and acceptance.
We are dedicated to promoting, fostering and encouraging Jewish life in a warm and welcoming environment for all people, regardless of background, level of commitment, affiliation and/or financial means.
Chabad of Park Slope believes in making the beauty of our Jewish principles and heritage accessible to all Jews, assisting in bringing the light of Jewish tradition into one's life. Chabad welcomes and accepts all Jews regardless of background of affiliation.
Walking into our center or joining one of our programs, the first thing you'll notice are the people. You will see smiles, hugs, and warm handshakes as people greet each other. It is an intimate and spirited group. There are families, singles, seniors, and lots of children. There are Jews from all walks of life, backgrounds and affiliations. People come to Chabad for the sense of community they feel here. There are no judgments or expectations. You don't need to read Hebrew or be familiar with the services. If you are Jewish and want a place to express your soul, you are welcome here!
In addition to the regular community services and events, Chabad runs a range of community institutions, including: Mei Sarah: a state of the art Men's and Women's Mikvah, Chai Tots Preschool and Chai Hebrew School.
Chabad of Park Slope is proud to partner with the local Park Slope synagogue, Congregation B'nai Jacob, for daily and Shabbat services and other community initiatives.
