Rabbi Shimon Kramer of Chabad Center for Jewish Life in Merrick, welcomed US House of Representative Anthony Esposito as he joined The Tefillin Club at Chabad this past Sunday morning.

The Congressman spoke to a standing-room-only crowd and told of the $14 billion in funding he secured for Israel and of his commitment to fighting antisemitism. 

Rabbi Kramer and his wife Chanie came to Merrick, LI from Crown Heights in 2006. In 1995, Chanie Kramer (nee Halberstam) graduated from Beth Rivka High School in Brooklyn, NY and assists with running the many activities at the center.

Rabbi Kramer continues to be one of the most popular people in town, being named Merrick’s Person of the Year in 2017, and Jewish life continues to grow exponentially in part because of his and Chanie’s efforts.

Merrick Chabad is known for having it’s doors open to everyone on the High Holidays, not only paying shul members.
