CLIFTON PARK –Clifton Park Chabad has officially launched a building campaign this fall, aimed at expanding its facilities at 495 Moe Rd. to meet the needs of the Jewish community in Southern Saratoga County. This initiative will create a dynamic, inclusive space where people of all backgrounds can experience and engage in Jewish life, according to Rabbi Yossi and Leah Rubin, Clifton Park Chabad directors.

The new center will feature spaces for prayer, learning, youth programs, holiday celebrations, and social events. Clifton Park Chabad has partnered with Mike Roth of Stracher, Roth, Gilmore Architects, who has been instrumental in shaping the architectural vision of the project.

From now until the end of the year, Clifton Park Chabad is running a matching campaign. Every dollar donated will be doubled, allowing contributors to maximize the impact of their support. “This is an opportunity to make a real difference,” said Rabbi Yossi Rubin. “By participating in this mitzvah, donors are not only helping to build a new center but are also ensuring that Jewish life continues to flourish in our community.” He also said that donations of $1,800 or more will be recognized on a donor wall.

Guiding the campaign is Marv LeRoy, founder and president of the Institute for Philanthropic Excellence, who has  40+ years of experience in nonprofit leadership. For those who wish to explore the plans for Clifton Park Chabad  the organization is offering building brochures and welcomes interest about the project. The rabbi may be reached at 518-495-0772.
