Do we have to be members of Chabad to enroll our children in Hebrew School?
Chabad of the Shore’s No Membership Philosophy makes our programs accessible to all. Everyone is welcomed as family. Our unique approach and unconditional acceptance of every Jew has created a dynamic and flourishing Jewish Community. We are constantly expanding our programs and services to serve everyone, and we invite you to join us at any time.
My family is not religious; will I feel comfortable at Chabad?
Our organization is inclusive and non-judgmental, and our programs are open to all Jews. In fact, the vast majority of people who participate in programs are not Observant. The teachings are imbued with the renowned Jewish spirit and joy, but in no way is the commitment to an Orthodox lifestyle a prerequisite to one’s acceptance at the Center’s programs, activities & schools. Please feel free to stop by to see for yourself the warmth and welcome everyone receives regardless of their personal religious affiliation and practices.
Do we have to make any commitments like keeping Kosher to enroll our children in the Hebrew School?
Our Center is an educational organization dedicated to helping every Jew, regardless of background, affiliation, or personal level of observance, to increase their level of Jewish knowledge, enthusiasm, and commitment.
