About Chabad

Chabad of Islip is a family oriented, full service Jewish Community Center providing services for any Jew regardless of their background or affiliation. There is no charge to become a member at Chabad although donations are appreciated.

Why?

Because many Jewish people in our town feel like they are "the only Jew in all of Islip". As many parents expressed "My child thinks they are the only Jew in their class/school".

There are Jews and non-Jews who don’t have access to further education about the Jewish people. Chabad is here to fill those needs in a non-judgmental and warm traditional atmosphere.

To do this Chabad has created

• A close, tight knit community where people feel for one another and are looking out for the welfare of the other community members
• A Chabad house which provides resources for parents, spouses, children and neighbors to learn about Jewish traditions
• A system to help people experience spiritual growth and renewal through joining one of our programs or one on one instruction with the rabbi – a subject of their choice at a time of their choosing.

Everybody feels at home at Chabad. Our community is comprised of people from across the entire Jewish spectrum. Many people who have a non-Jewish spouse, consider Chabad their spiritual center.

Chabad of Islip Township is the home of

• The Islip Jewish Learning Institute  -The primer resource for Jewish adult education.
• The Jewish Women’s Circle  – Where singles, moms and women of all ages can be part of a global sisterhood.
• Island Hebrew Club  – where children have fun learning about their heritage.
• The Shul by the Bay  – Where prayer means connecting to G-d
• Chabad also provides resources for  life-cycle  events, addiction intervention, crisis and marriage  counseling  and referral services and any need you may have. 

What Now?  

My personal goal is to meet EVERY Jew who lives or works in Islip Town.
