About
We are dedicated to fostering a warm and inclusive environment where Jewish individuals of all backgrounds can come together to explore and celebrate Jewish life. Serving the Back Mountain and surrounding towns of Shavertown, Dallas, Trucksville, and Harvey's Lake, our mission is to provide meaningful experiences, educational opportunities, and a sense of belonging to everyone who comes through our doors.

At the heart of our mission is the belief that every individual has a unique and valuable contribution to make to the world. We strive to empower individuals to discover their Jewish heritage, connect with their spiritual roots, and find personal meaning and purpose in their lives.

Through our various programs and initiatives, we aim to create a vibrant and dynamic community that nurtures Jewish identity and fosters a strong sense of community. From engaging classes and workshops to uplifting Shabbat and holiday celebrations, we offer a wide range of opportunities for individuals and families to connect with their Jewish heritage, learn, grow, and interact with others who share their journey.

Welcome to Chabad, where every individual matters, and Jewish experience is celebrated with joy and meaning.
