Whether they feel the Bern or worship The Donald, Jewish politicos have one spot that is welcoming them all regardless of campaign or party affiliation.
Chabad, of course.
In what has become an election season staple since 2004, Chabad Lubavitch of New Hamsphire has opened a field office in downtown Manchester this week.
“There is lots of buzz as there are many politicians hoping to fulfill their dream in becoming the next President of the United States,” commented local Chabad Rabbi Levi Krinsky.
“They know they can’t afford to lose New Hampshire if they want to be able to continue on in becoming the party’s nominee,” he told COLlive.com.
With many Jewish people taking an active role in Republican and Democratic circles, Chabad’s popup shop provides for their spiritual and kosher needs ahead of the presidential primaries this Tuesday, February 9.
Located at 1117 Elm St, Manchester, NH 03101, the temporary location offers staffers and activists to meet other Jewish staffers and volunteers, get a kosher sandwich or receive any other Jewish needs they might have while in the Granite State.
Rabbi Krinsky said among the people who frequent the field office are “young political enthusiasts, many volunteer staffers of all ages and many reporters.”
Like in the rest of the country, Chabad of New Hampshire doesn’t get held up on labels but offers a warm and welcoming space for all.

I am afraid you are right.
But I am also afraid of what his views and position toasts Eretz Yisrael will be.
With a goy, we say the hearts of Kings and ministers are in the hands of Hashem, but a Jew has free choice… Now that could be scary
You are either not a real Chabadnik or you don’t know what Sanders believes.
The rise of anti-semitism in America will only increase BECAUSE he is Jewish and he will bankrupt this country.
I’m a Chabadnick and after listening to all of the candidates on both sides, I truly feel that, though I don’t agree with Mr. Sanders on a few key topics, he, in my opinion, is the most honest, has the most integrity and truly believes what he says. It’s impossible for me to say that about the other candidates. Ahavat Israel
A true dedicated shliach, works hard to do what is necessary. A true mentsch.
I sincerely hope none of Chabadnicks are for anders
