A warm welcoming community- for every Jew. A place to learn, connect, celebrate and feel at home
Rabbi Mendel and Mussie Heller are the founders and directors of Chabad of Carefree, serving the Jewish community of Carefree, Cave Creek, and the surrounding area.
Rabbi Mendel grew up in London, where he was immersed in Jewish learning, community life, and the values of helping others. He received a strong Jewish education and has experience in teaching, outreach, and building meaningful connections with people of all backgrounds.
Mussie grew up nearby in North Phoenix, in a family devoted to Jewish communal life. Her warmth, creativity, and love for people help make every program and interaction feel personal and welcoming.
Together with their son, Moshe, Rabbi Mendel and Mussie are excited to make Carefree their home and to build lasting relationships with Jewish individuals and families throughout the area.
