San Diego Chabad House Demolished

Jewish World

Demolished Chabad of La Costa, June 26, 2012.

On Tuesday, June 26, Chabad at La Costa took the next major step towards dedicating its new complex as the old Chabad Center was demolished. Many of the community participants turned out to witness this event, which they almost uniformly described as ‘bittersweet.’ Bitter in the sense that there have been so many events in the old building over the past twenty years, yet sweet in that it marks a new beginning in the Chabad House’s growth and development.

A new rabbi with Chabad of Snohomish County in Edmonds, Berel Paltiel, has settled into a new life with his wife Goldie and their two children, Risha (left), 4 months, and Chaya, 17 months, at their home in Edmonds, Washington.

Rabbi Berel Paltiel's older brothers had to pose as American tourists to transport banned religious books to Jewish congregations in Soviet Russia. All Berel had to do to transport his religious books to his new congregation was ship them from Brooklyn to Edmonds, Washington. But in every other way, he is continuing his family's legacy.
