Chabad Center to build own synagogue in Abacoa

Rabbi Berel Barash, founder of Chabad Jewish
Center of Jupiter, stands on 1.5 acres of land,
west of New Haven community in Jupiter and
south of University Boulevard. The orthodox
congregation recently closed on the land
bought from Abacoa Development Company
for $1 million.

Within the next two years, Chabad Jewish Center of Jupiter could have a permanent home.

The three-year-old orthodox synagogue has closed on 1.5 acres at University Boulevard, east of Military Trail, west of the New Haven community, for $1 million, said Rabbi Berel Barash, the synagogue’s founder/leader.

“The location couldn’t be better,” Barash said. “It’s the last available property the Abacoa developer had remaining,” said Barash. “Now that Scripps is coming, it only doubles and triples the need for our Jewish campus which will be located in the heart of Jupiter.”

“A place of worship will fit right into Abacoa,” said Nader Salour, Abacoa Development Company president. “The site is perfect for this kind of use.”

Pedestrian Struck By A Reversing Vehicle

On Friday afternoon an elderly Lubavitch woman was struck by a mini van that was reversing the wrong way up a block. This incident took place on Brooklyn Ave. between Empire Blvd. and Sterling St. apparently the driver of the minivan, who is also a Lubavitcher, was backing up Brooklyn Ave. towards Empire and struck the woman injuring her.

Hatzalah responded and took the Elderly Woman to Kings County Hospital with various injuries.

Unfortunately this is not an uncommon occurrence in which drives can be seen backing up down a block ‘to save some time’ in which they are endangering all of their surroundings, this also isn’t the first time where a Lubavitcher was injured form a driver backing up. So Drivers, please take this to heart and please stop this!
