Chabad of North East Iowa

Chabad N.E. Iowa is based in Postville Iowa. Postville Iowa is the home of the "famous" kosher meat/chicken plant "Agri Star".

Chabad N.E. Iowa is dedicated to the Rebbe's call to spread true Torah values and be of assistance, both: physically and spiritually to every Jew within our reach, no difference of background, involvement, or affiliation !

Bring about the coming of the righteous Moshiach speedily in our days by adding acts of goodness and kindness !

The size of the tight-knit Jewish population and its well-developed infrastructure led some Jews in town to refer to Postville as a shtetl. Shtetl is a Yiddish term that literally means “little town.” Shtetls (the plural in Yiddish is shtetlekh) were small towns with large Jewish populations that existed throughout pre-Holocaust Eastern and Central Europe. Some shtetls were founded a thousand years ago. Shtetls were socially stable and resilient communities where Orthodox Judaism flourished, safe from outside influence or interference.
