Rabbi Levi and Hadassah Backman
Bellingham, WA — Chabad of Bellingham just signed a lease, Thursday, July 19, which expanded the Chabad House, the center for Jewish Life for our ever fast growing Chabad Jewish Community and Student Organization.

That means more community activities, more campus events, more adult education, more Jewish Pride, and awareness, more Yiddishkeit and mitzvos. More love for G-d, the Torah, Israel, and all humanity!
