ASHEVILLE, NC — Mayor Terry Bellamy proclaimed a “Chabad Day of Goodness and Kindness” in honor of Chabad of Western North Carolina’s inauguration of its new home on 660 Merrimon Avenue.
Beneath the bold white-on-blue Chabad House sign, the door of the new space opens into a large room where prayer services and community events will be held. An enthusiastic bunch of 150 poured in, the fresh scent of new paint and carpet still in the air, and peered into the rabbi’s office and the children’s room during the grand opening event on September 30.
Chabad Day of Goodness & Kindnesss Proclaimed in NC
ASHEVILLE, NC — Mayor Terry Bellamy proclaimed a “Chabad Day of Goodness and Kindness” in honor of Chabad of Western North Carolina’s inauguration of its new home on 660 Merrimon Avenue.
Beneath the bold white-on-blue Chabad House sign, the door of the new space opens into a large room where prayer services and community events will be held. An enthusiastic bunch of 150 poured in, the fresh scent of new paint and carpet still in the air, and peered into the rabbi’s office and the children’s room during the grand opening event on September 30.
The Susskinds held off on opening a Hebrew School until the new space was ready. Previously, their Chabad activities were held in their apartment’s club house or in rented spaces around town. “Children need a steady place, a classroom to call their own,” said Mrs. Susskind.
Parents who wish to get a view of Chabad’s innovative Hebrew school can explore their website, which the Susskinds update with photos and links each week. It’s a popular site. According to internal Chabad statistics, the site has ranked among the top ten most visited Chabad center websites.
