Welcome to Chabad Center of Kendall/Pinecrest
Chabad Center of Kendall/Pinecrest has become a popular center for Jews of all backgrounds who want to learn more about their Jewish roots. Located in the heart of South Dade, Chabad offers a wide variety of educational and spiritual opportunities, including Torah classes and lectures, Shabbaton dinners, and an array of family and social activities. Traditional Jewish values are brought to life in a joyous, non-judgmental atmosphere.
Chabad serves all segments of the Jewish community. Everyone is welcome regardless of their personal level of religious observance. The philosophy is in keeping with the Chabad-Lubavitch approach of joy, scholarship and unconditional acceptance and love for every Jew.
Chabad is under the spiritual guidance of Rabbi Yossi & Nechama Harlig, a warm, caring and energetic couple, who established Chabad of Kendall/Pinecrest many years back. Their focus is that Torah must be presented and experienced in a modern, relevant context and made available to each individual on their own level. Rabbi Yossi and Nechama are emissaries of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson.
The services are traditional, and are conducted in a joyous, casual atmosphere. Children are included and most welcome. Many of those who attend cannot read Hebrew, yet everyone feels at home. The prayer book is bi-lingual and various English readings are included in the service. Song and commentary add meaning and participation to the prayers.
An important part of our community is the weekly Kiddush Luncheon that follows the Shabbat morning services, where friendships are created and nurtured and we celebrate each other's happy occasions and anniversaries.
Chabad offers a vibrant Hebrew School, Bar & Bat Mitzvah Clubs, C Teen, Women's Circle events, weekly Torah classes, holiday events and much more.
Please allow yourself the opportunity to visit and 
participate in our vibrant congregation. By joining Chabad Center of Kendall/Pinecrest you will acquire lifelong friendships, an opportunity for spiritual growth, and most importantly a chance to be a part of your Jewish community. Please feel free to visit us for services or any other program, or just stop in to say hello.
