“Two Chabad of the Valley Rabbis are sitting next to each other at a wedding when one turns to the other and says…” No, that’s not the beginning of a joke, but of a true story that, in some ways, captures the reality of Chabad of the Valley’s coming of age and entering into a new era of growth and expansion.
