Chabad of the High Desert

Chabad of the Antelope Valley was established in 1989 by Rabbi Yehudah & Chanie Lazar as emissaries of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, with the goal to bring authentic, traditional Judaism and the joy of Yiddishkeit to the High Desert.

Those living in the High Desert, a spiritual desert, were parched for Torah which is compared to water, a necessity for life. Chabad offers an oasis in the desert, life-giving water to the spiritually thirsty in the form of Shabbos and Yom Tov services, Talmud Torah/Hebrew School, adult education, outreach, holiday celebrations, teen club, community events, counseling, hospital and prison chaplaincy.

Chabad is a Hebrew acronym for wisdom, understanding and knowledge. This represents bringing the Torah and it’s teachings to all levels of understanding. We care for every single Jew regardless of background, levels of practice or knowledge of Judaism.

The motto of Chabad is “A Jew is a Jew”. We at Chabad welcome every Yid in a warm, friendly, and non-judgmental manner. No membership fees are required. One who attends Chabad is offered the full smorgasbord of Judaism. Each individual makes personal choices to sample and taste of the kosher spiritual delicacies to their heart’s desire.
