Jewish Community Center

Jewish Community Center in New York, New York, led by Rabbi Berel Gurevitch.

Rabbi Berel Gurevitch was born in Brooklyn, New York. After completing his Jewish studies in Israel, Canada and Argentina, he received his Rabbinical ordination in 2014. Passionate about creating Jewish community, Berel spent time doing outreach work and teaching in New York, Argentina, Los Angeles, Israel, Nigeria, Lithuania, Peru and elsewhere. He has a keen ability to connect with people of all demographics and backgrounds. Berel is a gifted teacher, experienced administrator and a great coffee date!

Chana grew up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Exotic Melbourne, Australia and mystical Safed, Israel were home to Chana for a number of years. The unique spirit of each city enriched her studies and deep appreciation for Judaism that resonates in the twenty first century. Chana's wisdom and warmth make connecting with her easy and enjoyable.

Chana and Rabbi Berel, along with their children, established Chabad serving the West Village and Meatpacking District in 2018 with a vision of creating a vibrant Jewish community center where all feel welcome to discover, connect, and celebrate. Chabad is proudly funded by the generosity of the local community.

Chabad is a global movement of Jewish education and community activism driven by the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Since 1951, the Rebbe's goal to reach out to every corner of the world with love and concern has unfolded dramatically, with over 3,500 Chabad centers in nearly 1,000 cities worldwide.
