“Chabad West Village is my Jewish home away from home. It feeds me Jewish inspiration to lead a happy, meaningful, and enjoyable life. The community we’ve cultivated is multi-faceted with Jews from many different backgrounds and perspectives, but all of us have the following in common: a deep bond to the physical and spiritual space of Chabad West Village, its incredible leaders, and its people—our friends who fill each day with joy.”

“Village Hebrew has been a fantastic experience for my daughter! As an Israeli mother raising children in America, I sought a place to foster our values. VH has given our daughter a strong foundation for her Jewish identity and a sense of belonging to a larger Jewish community.”
