What We Do
Chabad of Riverdale is part of the worldwide Chabad-Lubavitch movement, inspired by the vision and leadership of the Lubavitcher Rebbe , Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. Since 1992, we have served the Bronx with a clear mission: to love every Jew, educate every Jew, and support every Jew — regardless of background or affiliation.
Located at 535 West 246th Street , our center is a welcoming hub of Jewish life, learning, prayer, and community.
