Some were given emergency medical treatment there as emissaries and volunteers worked frantically to help locate the missing, and to provide food and shelter to the stranded. Nearly 1,800 people have been confirmed killed, with thousands more inured and missing.

Chabad at Lehigh U. Moves into New, larger Home

Chabad at Lehigh was established in 2008 with the dream of creating a “home away from home” for the Lehigh Jewish community. Since then, it has seen growth that cannot be contained in its current 2,500-square-foot townhouse on Evans Street. A new house is being built to provide the much-needed space to accommodate and expand the growing programs and events.

Video: Chabad Keeps the Faith in Atlantic City

New Jersey’s Atlantic City is known worldwide as a haven for gamblers, with millions of tourists flocking each year to its casinos. And yet, in the heart of a city that is seemingly as far away from Jewish values as possible, you will find a thriving Chabad House, headed by Rabbi Shmuel David Rappaport and his wife Tova.

As Rowan University Grows, So Does Its Jewish Community

Rabbi Hersh Loschak, a Californian, first heard about Rowan University in the same way that many students start their college searches; he Googled it. In his national quest to find a college town where a new Chabad House would likely thrive, Loschak, 28, honed in on Rowan. From online research, he quickly gathered that the Glassboro, NJ, based school—founded some 90 years ago as a teacher-training program—was in the throes of a massive transformation.
