Chabad House Gets Building Approval on 11th of Nissan!

TACOMA, WA [CHI] — After two years of battling the legal system to gain approval for the plans and permits for a new Chabad Jewish Center, the Hearing Examiner announced today – Yud Aleph Nissan – the decision that the appeal was granted and plans can go forward with the project of building the new Chabad Jewish Center in Pierce County, Washington, which is run by Shluchim Rabbi Zalman and Miriam Heber.

What a truly wonderful birthday gift to the Rebbe, whose vision and guidance inspired the establishment of Chabad Jewish Center in Tacoma, Washington six years ago.

The attorneys were extremely touched by the timing of the decision as well. “I am so very happy for the Chabad community. I do not think it is a coincidence that this decision issued on the birthday of the Chabad movement’s founder, but instead reveals planning and handwriting from the heavens” said attorney Carolyn Lake who represented Chabad of Pierce County in their appeals.

    I am very happy to hear that your building site has been approved, and that construction will begin soon. I know how hard you have worked to make the Chabad Center a reality in Tacoma. I have just returned from my second visit to Israel to my granddaughter, Mayan, whose hospitality she and her mother so enjoyed when they visited Tacoma several years ago.
    Mayan just turned 15. She wanted me to bring greetings to you and the children upon my return.
