Celebrate With Chabad Intown

Do you ever take road trips? Do you notice how you are forever looking at the road signs that say “987 miles to Anywhere, USA”? Or, “next rest area 254 miles”?
 
The “Road Trip” is the journey of life, with all its valleys and hills, bumpy and smooth roads with exciting and occasionally not so exciting attractions along the way. The “Road Signs” are the Jewish holidays. Some of the holidays let us know that we need to slow down and look inside ourselves. Perhaps we are going the wrong way and need to make a U-Turn. At times we need to speed up, and maybe our destination is at hand and it’s time to rejoice.

With the unique spirituality of Chabad philosophy, the holiday experience with Chabad Intown is unique and enjoyable. Always informative, always spiritual, and always an energizing experience.
 
Please click on the links below to identify where we are on this year’s road trip. Perhaps you’ll join us at one of our rest areas for a short visit or perhaps you will stay awhile.
 
Wishing you a safe and meaningful journey!
