Our friends are sometimes surprised to learn that Chabad of the Bay Area is not funded by outside sources, rather it is the grass-roots support from the community we serve and friends and admirers who really make our work possible.

As we near the end of 2015, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution and stay tuned for details about our special upcoming End of the Year Matching Campaign to be held on December 17th.

Your partnership and support at this time is not only a vote of confidence, but vital to enabling our efforts to provide warm, welcoming and innovative programming to Jewish people throughout the Bay Area regardless of background or affiliation.

Shluchim Picture

Thousands of rabbis attending the International Conference of Chabad-Lubavitch Emissaries (Kinus Hashluchim) pose for the annual group portrait in front of Lubavitch World Headquarters in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y. The corresponding women's convention of Shluchot (Emisasries) is held in February. Can you spot our rabbi in the picture?
