Chabad Carmel Valley Hebrew School

Time is Precious! It was wonderful to be with so many brothers and sisters who share our love for Israel at the “Celebrate Israel, Yom HaAtzmaut Festival” last Sunday.

Elevate your Speech Our parshiot talk about the physical consequences of Lashon Hara, speaking evil of a fellow Jew. There is also a spiritual effect when we misuse the gift of speech; others use it against us.

Pesach Information One of my earliest clear memories of The Rebbe was on the occasion of his 75th birthday, when my father (in the light suit) gifted the Rebbe the gold key to the first Chabad building in Argentina, which he purchased with tremendous sacrifice. That spot became a center of Torah and kindness, where th...

New Children's Program We are pleased to announce the launch of the "TLC Shabbat Kids Program," starting this Shabbat and running every week from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm, led by our dear Joel Douek.

Hashem commands to take an animal on the tenth of Nissan and tie it inside the house. So, when the Egyptians would ask: "Why are you confining my god?" The...

I Am My Brother's Keeper Due to a positive response, we will start services on Fridays earlier, just before sunset, until March. This Friday will be at 4:50 pm. The rest of January will be at 5:00 pm.
