Chabad Dutchess - Rhinebeck Jewish Center

The RJC is a Nusach Ari modern orthodox style congregation with a chassidic flair in the quaint village of Rhinebeck NY. The RJC caters to both locals, weekenders and tourist alike.

How it began In 2007 Rabbi Hanoch & Tzivie Hecht moved to Rhinebeck to open the center a place where individuals from all backgrounds would feel welcome.

Imagine a place where every person – from the inexperienced in background and practice, to the most learned – could feel at home. Imagine a place where children could play and learn and develop their identities; where senior adults could share their wisdom; where parents could learn how to transmit the joy and beauty of our heritage on to the next generation. Imagine a place where learning and laughter, sacred and mundane, spiritual and physical, come together in an inviting atmosphere of warmth and acceptance.

You have just imagined the Rhinebeck Jewish Center and Chabad of Dutchess County – a place where Judaism comes vibrantly and joyously alive
