Chabad of Montauk

As part of the world wide network of Chabad houses, Chabad of Montauk’s mission is to create a Jewish oasis within the oasis that is Montauk. Our aim is to provide a warm and welcoming environment for all Jews, regardless of background or affiliation. We offer a variety of educational and social programs to engage the community and promote Jewish values and traditions.

We’re the Baumgartens, to be specific, Rabbi Aizik & Musia. When we moved to East Hampton in 2013, we kept hearing the same thing: “When is Chabad going to come to Montauk?”

In the summer of 2017 we listened to those requests and thanks to the graciousness of our dear friend Haley, we hosted a pop-up Shabbat in Montauk. A couple of months later at Rosh Hashanah services in East Hampton, we were talking about the pop-up and Mia, a friend, said: “You guys should be there all summer. I’m going to help you find a place.”

Chabad of Montauk formally opened for the summer of 2018 and we’ve been coming back every summer since.
