members who are the pillars
of our community, but
many of their children and
grandchildren have now
moved back,” he said. “Bais
Chabad has a very youthful
energy, and I’m very happy to
say I’m always looking to add
to that.”
Bais Chabad has two
major projects currently
in the works. The Mallor
Walder Community Mikvah
Center, an approximately
2,500-square-foot facility,
is about triple the space of
the current mikvah and is
expected to open this month
or next.
The congregation is also
building a new playground
adjacent to its building to
serve children at Shabbat
youth groups, Sunday
religious school classes and
summer day camps. It is
named Marc’s Playground,
dedicated by Bruce and
Mindy Ruben in memory of
Bruce’s brother, Marc Ruben.
Shneur Silberberg has
heard from people all over the
world that Bais Chabad has
been incredibly influential
in their lives. He credits his
parents in that process.
“There are so many families
that attribute their connection
to their faith in Judaism to
Bais Chabad in some form or
another,” Silberberg said.
“I’ve bumped into people —
whether it’s in Israel or New
York or Chicago, and certainly
here in town — and when
they think about their journey
in life and their (Jewish
journey), Bais Chabad and
their experience here plays a
major role. And that’s perhaps
the nicest feeling to have.
