Just a few miles west of the George Washington Bridge lies the bustling borough of Paramus. Home to nearly 30,000 residents, a sizeable percentage of whom are Jewish, Paramus is a place with great people and great opportunity. Aside from its local population, Paramus is the number one shopping zip code in the country, and is home to several Jewish schools servicing the entire county.
Enter Chabad.
In 2002, Shluchim Rabbi Moshe and Zeesy Grossbaum made Paramus their home. They set about engaging the local Jewish community, and ultimately found their niche directing the Friendship Circle of Bergen County, reaching hundreds of children, teenagers, and families of children with special needs.
As time passed, it became clear that there was a need to delegate the responsibility to the local Paramus community to maximize the impact of each Shlichus.
Filling that need will be their daughter and son-in-law Mussi and Rabbi Levi Marasow, who will be moving there along with their baby Chana. They will live in Paramus and focus on developing the scope and reach of Chabad activities.
While the Marasows will primarily focus on engaging the locals, Paramus is also home to multiple hospitals, retirement homes, busy commercial corridors, and much more, providing even more avenues for reaching Jews from all walks of life.
Much Hatzlacha:)
We are sure you will do a great job and give the Rebbe lots of nachas .
