Lubavitch on the Palisades

Chabad House

Lubavitch on the Palisades is one of the fastest growing synagogues in New Jersey with preschool, day school, Hebrew school and Camp Gan Israel.

The Shul was created to meet the crucial need that a warm, accessible and user-friendly synagogue plays in the healthy development of both family and community. By conducting joyful and exuberant, easy to follow services that include relevant and topical running commentary and sermons, concurrently with children's programming, the Family Shul has become one of the fastest growing synagogues in N.J. An average Shabbat now sees nearly 150 children, women and men both in the services and in related programming. A modern Shul with cherished traditional values, in a nonjudgmental, friendly and inclusive atmosphere. Come and see how our wide range of family-oriented activities and warm and welcoming environment are bringing families together.
