Free
High Holiday Services
In Keeping with it's motto of "Judaism for all...and all
for Judaism" Chabad offers High Holiday Services free of charge.
Anyone can participate in our Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services
typically held at the Hilton Glendale. Please call us for reservations.
Children's Hebrew School
Chabad's Hebrew School strives to make Judaism vivid and user-friendly
for today's child. The Hebrew School experience should be relevant
enough to last children a lifetime. Our hands-on style of learning
encourages children to be active, rather than passive learners.
Adult Education
A full schedule of mid-week and Shabbat classes are given in
Rabbi Backman's home, and in the offices and homes of the participants.
Classes are arranged for the convenience of participants, and cover
a variety of topics that relate Torah to the issues of everyday life.
Holiday Guides
Chabad
Holiday Guides are informational booklets mailed to 5000 homes at
least four times per year. They arrive in Jewish homes just prior
to each of the major Holidays, and provide each household with the
"how tos" of holiday celebration. Inside their attractively
designed pages, are the laws, customs, blessings and Chassidic insights
appropriate to each holiday. Last year over 20,000 booklets were distributed.
For many Jewish homes, these booklets are their only active link to
Judaism and the primary source of Jewish education for their children.
Holiday Programming
Chabad organizes public gatherings for every major Jewish Holiday.
These include, Chanukah, Tu B'Shvat, Purim, Passover, Lag B'omer,
Shavuot, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kipur, Sukkot, and Simchat Torah. At every
event there is a special children's program which brings the joy of
the Holidays to the little ones.
Shabbat
At Chabad, Jews from every walk of life gather
at the home of Rabbi Simcha and Shterna Backman for Shabbat meals.
A full Shabbat program allows Jews to participate in the wonder, warmth
and excitement of Shabbat and learn why and how it is the centerpiece
of the Jewish week. For dozens of families, Shabbat with Chabad of
is the beginning of creating and celebrating Shabbat in their own
home with their own children. It is an introduction and initiation
into the beauty, mystery and tranquility of Shabbat. From this intimate,
family centered, experience, an ever-widening circle is growing and
will continue to grow bringing Shabbat into the mainstream of Jewish
life.

publish a beautiful Jewish Art Calendar which is sent out before Rosh
Hoshana free of charge to our entire mailing list. The uniqueness
