Just hours after the burial of nine-year-old Levi Yitzchak Wolowik, stunned supporters of Chabad of the Five Towns entered a banquet hall for the center’s 14th-annual dinner to honor the wishes of their beloved rabbi and rebbetzin. (Photo: Yosef Lewis)

More than 500 people packed a Long Island banquet hall to honor a Chabad-Lubavitch center and its emissary couple who had worked tirelessly for almost 15 years to strengthen Jewish life in Nassau County, N.Y. But the couple, Rabbi Zalman and Chanie Wolowik, was noticeably missing.

The Wolowiks, directors of Chabad of the Five Towns, were observing the traditional mourning period – known as shiva – for their nine-year-old son Levi, who had tragically passed away just two nights before.

The University Religious Center hosts Shabbat Dinner on Friday. The Chabad House is recovering from a recent blaze with the help of community members.

GOLETA, CA — In the aftermath of a fire that ravaged the UCSB Chabad House three weeks ago, the Orthodox Jewish religious center has remained at the service of the local community.

According to the Santa Barbara Fire Dept., the fire began in a bedroom at the home - located at 779 Camino Pescadero - on Feb. 8. The flames then proceeded to scorch entire portions of the first and second floors, ultimately rendering the Chabad House unfit to provide services to the community.
