WHO WE ARE

Chabad Lubavitch of Kensington (CLoK) was founded in 1993, as a JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER. It has mainly targeted its activities to the large concentration of 20,000 Russian immigrants, as well as to the many unaffiliated, American & Israeli Jews residing in close proximity to the center.

Since its inception, Chabad Lubavitch of Kensington has acquired a strong ability and experience to focus on and approach the Russian Jewish mentality and the mentality of unaffiliated Jewish population at large.

Since its opening, the center has succeeded in bringing the joy and warmth of Judaism to people that never knew it existed.

Chabad Lubavitch of Kensington is a non-profit organization [501(c)(3) section of IRS] which currently provides, on a steady basis, a wide array of educational and social programs to over 4,300 Russian-Jewish families and 1,300 American-Jewish families.

OUR MISSION

·      To help Russian Jews reclaim their spiritual/cultural heritage denied them under Soviet tyranny and to exercise their religious freedoms;

·      To encourage the younger generation of Russian Jews to take pride in their Jewish identity;

·      To promote Jewish continuity, by providing regular, ongoing activities as well as unique, and creative seasonal events, tailored to every age group in the entire family.

·      We also have a fully functioning synagogue and rabbinical leadership, which provides necessary assistance for all events throughout the Jewish lifecycle.

·      Our main raison d’être is to do all we can to usher in the era of the redemption of all Jews from exile and the revelation of Moshiach.
