Events & services provided by the Chabad Jewish Center of Folsom & El Dorado Hills. We offer a wealth of Jewish learning and scholarship through our fresh & relevant content.

Chabad is a family oriented, full service Jewish Community Center providing services for any Jew regardless of their background or affiliation. There is no charge to become a member at Chabad, although donations are appreciated.

Because many Jewish people in Folsom/El Dorado Hills feel like they are “the only Jew in town” and “the odd one out”. A few parents said, “I was the one who brought Hanukkah Dreidels to the class and told them that we celebrate Hanukkah, not Christmas. There are Jews and non-Jews who don’t have access to further education about the Jewish people. Chabad is here to fill those needs in a non-judgmental and warm traditional atmosphere.

A close, tight knit community where people feel for one another and are looking out for the welfare of the other community members
