IT’S GOOD TO BUILD!
“Just as our predecessors planted for us, we must plant for the future.”
Since the year 2000, Chabad of NWBC has forged a warm, welcoming and vibrant community embracing thousands of Jewish residents from every conceivable background.
Now, it’s time to build a beautiful home for us all and for generations to come. A place to celebrate Jewish life and grow together; a place to bask in the warmth and support of community; a place to inspire and invigorate our minds and spirits, and a place that will serve as a beacon of goodness in our community.
Help build a home for our community and build your personal legacy that will shine far into the future.

the Jewish community of Franklin Lakes and the surrounding area over the past 20 years.

of spirit and welcoming embrace. They are the glue that keeps everyone
connected and feeling like a family. We thank G-d for their friendship and guidance
every day.”

“Chabad is successful in Franklin Lakes because it is community financed and supported. It’s OUR Chabad House; we built it, we financed it. How can we not continue to support its next phase of growth? Communities either grow or fade, but they never remain static. Our Chabad is thriving and ready to take a big leap forward through this initiative, as a catalyst to its next phase of growth. ”
