Changes Afoot at Lone Star State Jewish Center
HOUSTON, TX — In the largest of the 48 contiguous states, thinking big is a way of life. So it comes as no surprise that when the opportunity arose to make the Chabad-Lubavitch Center of Houston bigger and better, the local Jewish community was ready and willing to chip in.
The same can be said in the city’s Uptown District, where Chabad of Uptown just moved into temporary quarters after outgrowing its previous home.
Dr. Irv Fishman, whose daughters-in-law teach at the Torah Day School at the Chabad-Lubavitch Center, says that he’s particularly excited about the center’s expansion, in which a new west wing will accommodate eight new classrooms, two Jewish ritual baths, a larger synagogue, social hall, kitchen and library.
“We’ve been involved in the school for 30 years,” says Fishman, 62, of his family. “Our oldest child was one of the first students in the school.”
