The Chabad Center of Northwest New Jersey will break ground this weekend on a new educational center in Rockaway Township.

The groundbreaking marks a significant moment in the history of the Chabad Center, which started 18 years ago with a few families gathering at a local VFW hall.

"A steadfast commitment to creating educational opportunities, especially as they translate into the strengthening of character and ethics, is the life sign of a community. This is why this will be a very significant and emotional moment for our institution," explained Rabbi Asher Herson, regional director of the Chabad Center. CONTINUE
