Meet Rabbi Yisroel & Chaya Baumgarten Directors of Chabad of East San Gabriel Valley

With open hearts and a passionate vision, Rabbi Yisroel and Chaya Baumgarten founded Chabad of East San Gabriel Valley to bring Jewish life, learning, and connection to the communities of Glendora, San Dimas, Covina, West Covina, Azusa, Baldwin Park, and the surrounding areas.

Rabbi Yisroel was raised as a second-generation Chabad Shliach in Rockaway, NJ. He studied in yeshivas across New York, New Jersey, and Florida, as well as at 770 Chabad Headquarters in Brooklyn, and received his rabbinic ordination from the esteemed Rabbi Yaroslavsky of Kiryat Malachi, Israel. He has led Passover Seders for Jews around the world, including in Copacabana, Brazil; Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic; and Miami, Florida. In addition, he has volunteered with the Aleph Institute, visiting incarcerated Jews in nearly 25 states across the U.S., bringing connection, support, and Torah inspiration to those in need.

Chaya grew up in Pasadena as a second-generation Chabad Shlucha. She studied in California and Israel before dedicating five years to the Friendship Circle in Stamford, Connecticut, where she directed programs for children with special needs and their families.
