Chabad on Long Island is showing rapid growth, with the number of its centers more than doubling during a time when synagogues have merged, lost members or closed.
With just 17 Chabad Rabbis Shluchim serving Long island’s Jews in 2000, that number is about to jump to 50!
Rabbi Shalom Lipszyc, who grew up on Long Island, and Rochel Leah Lipszyc (nee Cohen) originally fro Montreal, will become the 50th Chabad Shluchim couple, together with their two children Zalmen and Meir Chaim.
The Lipszycs were appointed by the regions Head Shliach Rabbi Tuvia Teldon and the Director of Town of Oyster Bay Chabad Rabbi Shmuel Lipszyc.
They will be servicing the over 27,500 Jews in Long Island’s Northeast Nassau region.
The young couple’s initial goals are to helm the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (JLI) affiliate in Northeast Nassau and to connect with young families in the community, and assist with their Jewish needs.
The Lipszycs are aiming to raise $45,000 by Gimmel Tammuz (June 27) to support their move and to help fund their planned activities.
You can show them your support by donating to their Funding Campaign or by visiting newshluchim.com.
