Auction Honors Jewish Community of Upper East Side

Almost 20 years ago, Rabbi Ben-Tzion and Chanie Krasnianski moved to New York City’s Upper East Side to embark on a major undertaking: the establishment of a Chabad-Lubavitch center to reinvigorate one of the most historically-Jewish neighborhoods of Manhattan. They started out small, but today, seven years into its current 17,000-square-foot educational complex, the Schneerson Center for Jewish Life continues to grow, enhancing the lives of many in the process.
