Please welcome the new Shluchim to Alpharetta!
Rabbi Gedalya Hertz and Ruthy Hertz (nee Shechter) will be moving to Georgia to join the dedicated team at Chabad of North Fulton, led by Rabbi Hirshy Minkowicz.
The young couple and their son are relocating from Brooklyn’s Crown Heights neighborhood to help serve the growing Jewish communities of Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Milton, Roswell, and Duluth.
The Hertzes will focus on community outreach and women’s programming with the titles of assistant Rabbi and Rebbetzin.
“They will also be launching and directing a new initiative focused on engaging youth and teens in the area through the cKids, cTeen, and other resources,” said Rabbi Minkowicz.
Chabad activities there were founded in 1998 by Rabbi Minkowicz and his wife Rashi as a center for Jewish life and education which accepts all Jews regardless of background or affiliation.
Following the incorporation of two new cities in the North Fulton area – Johns Creek and Milton, the institution’s name was formally changed in January 2009 from Chabad of Alpharetta to Chabad of North Fulton.
On March 11, 2014, the local community suffered the tragic and sudden loss of Rashi Minkowicz OBM. Her husband and the community have since dedicated activities in her memory, as well as Rashi’s Campus, a $4 million permanent home for Chabad in North Fulton.
The Hertzes can be reached at [email protected] and [email protected].

You are and continue to be a massive inspiration. Glad for the Hertz’s and glad the Hertz’s are coming to you. A great match there! Hatzlacha Rabba.
Hatzlacha Rabba in your shlichus!! Still the best tanya teacher I had…
Certainly very talented. Rabbi Minkovitz got the best. Will definitely make an impact as Rashi says A Tzadik makes an impression he is the beauty, splendor and majesty.
