Chabad of NE Rural Arizona

Rabbi Yaakov and Tiferes Cahnman with their children and the Mobile Jewish Center

That’s what Suzanne Miles of Show Low said—after two years of believing she was the only Jewish soul in the entire White Mountains region.

Across the ponderosa pines of Rim Country, the cool lakes of the White Mountains, and the wide expanses of Gila, Navajo, and Apache Counties, Jewish souls are scattered like stars. Some are retirees. Some are ranchers. Some haven’t set foot in a synagogue in fifty years. All of them are family—and Chabad of NE Rural Arizona exists so that not a single one is ever forgotten.

We are Arizona’s first permanent roving Chabad center, dedicated to bringing the warmth and joy of Torah-true Judaism to every Jew in the rural northeast—with active programming in Payson, Pinetop-Lakeside, Show Low, and the towns and homesteads in between.
