New Shluchim to Rural Georgia

By COLlive reporter

Rabbi Chaim and Chaya Markovits (nee Mentz) have recently been appointed as the new Shluchim to Rural Georgia.

​​​​​​​The couple will be providing for the Jewish needs of the Jewish population in Georgia that are distant from established Jewish communities.

Rabbi Chaim Markovitz grew up in Sydney, Australia. He studied for his Rabbinical ordination in Pretoria, South Africa. He then moved to NY where he directed the Released Time Jewish education program for public school students in Staten Island until his marriage to Chaya in 2017.

Chaya hails from Bel Air, CA where she grew up with a strong involvement in her parents’ Chabad House. In 2011 Chaya co-founded the International Young Chabad Women’s convention. Chaya currently is the program coordinator for Chabad of Bel Air, as well as the principal of their growing Hebrew School.
