WELCOME
To our dear friends across West Bloomfield and Metro Detroit,
We are all searching, grasping, hoping for light, goodness and human
connection, as we try to move past the challenges COVID-19 is
presenting.
In 1951, just a few years after the Holocaust, the Lubavitcher Rebbe
assumed leadership of the Chabad movement. His opening words of
leadership were the Biblical verse “I have come to my garden, my sister
my bride” (Song of Songs 5:1). In this verse, G-d describes the world as
“my beautiful garden,” and its inhabitants as “my sister my bride.”
Following this approach, the Chabad mindset has always been to find
the beauty embedded in G-d’s world, and to see the inherent goodness
in all of G-d’s creations.
At Bais Chabad we are determined even and especially, in challenging
times, to provide you with opportunities, through Torah classes,
holiday celebrations, Mitzvah programs and more, to find joy, meaning,
happiness and connection with others and with Hashem.
Wishing you and yours a happy, sweet and safe new year,
Rabbi Elimelech
and Chaya Sara
Silberberg
Rabbi Shneur and
Zeesy Silberberg
Dedicated to the legacy
of the Lubavitcher Rebbe,
Rabbi Menachem Mendel
Schneerson ob"m.
To sponsor a class or program
in honor of a loved one,
please contact us.
Classes and events are
located at Bais Chabad unless
otherwise noted.
Events and programs are
subject to change based on
communal health concerns
and government guidelines.
