A fellow Shliach needs our help — urgently.

Chabad of Sheepshead Bay has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to purchase the property adjacent to the Chabad House, currently belonging to a church, and transform it into a permanent home for Torah, tefillah and Yiddishkeit.

The 8,000-square-foot corner property will finally give our growing community the space it desperately needs.

Today, our current space can no longer meet the needs of our growing community. We need room to welcome more families, expand our programs, and build the facilities our community needs to grow and thrive. There are hundreds of children waiting to get into our Hebrew school and preschool.

This property changes all of that.

It will allow us to build a beautiful shul welcoming hundreds more people, establish a much-needed Mikvah, create a social hall, build proper Hebrew School and preschool facilities, and open our doors to hundreds of additional Jewish families.

But first, we have to close.

The purchase price is $1.9 million. After tremendous effort, $800,000 has already been raised, and Chabad has secured a $500,000 mortgage.

$600,000 is still missing — and everything is on the line.

DONATE NOW — Help Us Reach the Closing Table

The closing is scheduled for Chai Elul, Monday, August 31, the auspicious birthday of both the Baal Shem Tov and the Alter Rebbe.

If C”VS we fail, we could lose the property and the $190,000 deposit already committed to the purchase.

The choice is stark:

Either we secure this property — or the church retains it.

Either it becomes a makom of kedusha — or the opportunity is lost, and it could instead be acquired by another religious institution, including a mosque R”L.

Either we raise the final $600,000 — or we risk losing the property and our $190,000 deposit.

DONATE NOW — Help Secure Our New Home

For one Shliach and one community, $600,000 in such a short time can feel impossible. But together, it is possible.

And the zechus is tremendous. Every donor becomes a partner in the Mikvah, the children who will learn here, the simchas that will be celebrated here, the tefillos that will be davened here, and the hundreds of families who will walk through these doors.

The campaign has received the endorsement of:

Rabbi Kasriel Shemtov — Mayanot, Jerusalem
Rabbi Moshe Pinson — Bais Shmuel Chabad, Crown Heights
Rabbi Sholom Moshe Paltiel — Chabad of Port Washington
Rabbi Yisroel Spalter — Chabad of Weston, Florida
Rabbi Gadi Blizinsky — Chevra Shas, Crown Heights
Rabbi Alex Kaller — Chabad Russian Center of S. Florida
Rabbi Shlomo Z. Cohen — Chabad of Sheepshead Bay

The deadline: Chai Elul — Monday, August 31.
The amount needed: $600,000.
The deposit at risk: $190,000.

This is a property we cannot afford to lose — and an opportunity we cannot afford to miss.

Please help a fellow Shliach and help us build a home that will serve thousands of Yidden for generations.
