Chabad House in Woodmead, South Africa, led by Rabbi Yosef Y. Hecht.
The Chabad of Sandton story is a special one. It was 1982 when Rabbi Yossie & Raisy Hecht began shul services in the garage in their home in Gallo Manor. A group of excited and eager individuals and families joined the shul and with their open hearts and a pioneering spirit, the rest is history!
The shul has grown into a beautiful community center - which offers daily Minyanim, weekly adult learning for men and women, young professional & youth programs, holiday events, mommy & me programs & more!
The campus is also home to the special Chabad of Sandton Nursery School and Mikvah Chana.
Rabbi Yossi & Raisy Hecht & their family are Shluchim - emissaries of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Our philosophy, way of life, mission, inclusive approach in serving G-d and reaching out to our fellow Jew and all of mankind, is based on the teaching of the worldwide spiritual leader Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson ob”m.
