Artist’s rendering of how the Fire/Chabad House will look after construction

PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL — As Rabbi Dovid Vigler's arm sweeps across the cavernous empty firehouse, it's almost possible to see, as he does, how grand it will be.

There will be a sanctuary with a soaring high ceiling - he looks up - and a balcony overlooking a social hall for weddings and parties.
