Chabad Jewish Center of Maricopa City

Chabad House

Chabad House in Maricopa City, Arizona, led by Rabbi Dov Ber Fridman.

Chabad is only for religious Jews. You have to be “Orthodox” to participate in Chabad programs.

Chabad is welcoming, inclusive, and nonjudgmental. Our programs are open to Jews of all backgrounds, including those with little or no prior Jewish involvement. In fact, many people who participate in Chabad programs do not identify as Orthodox.

Chabad’s teachings are infused with the warmth, joy, and spirit of Chassidic Judaism. However, living an Orthodox or Chassidic lifestyle is not a prerequisite for participating in Chabad activities. Everyone is welcome to learn, explore, and connect with their Jewish heritage at their own pace. In many ways, you might even find Chabad quite unorthodox!

Chabad is here for every Jew, from those just beginning to explore their Jewish identity to those who are fully observant and deeply immersed in Jewish life.
