These centers exist today around the world, and serve as Jewish community centers that provide educational and outreach activities serving the needs of the entire Jewish community, regardless of degree of observance. Each center aims to provide a cozy and informal place to learn about and observe Judaism, and provides an atmosphere such that all Jews feel comfortable at Chabad events. Some are in or very near college campuses, others are not. Chabad houses are typically run by a Chabad rabbi and rebbetzin, often with the assistance of unmarried Chabad young men or women, or, in the case of more developed Chabad houses, with the assistance of a second or even third married couple.

Teens (TEENS)
CBC’s Youth Group includes students from 6th through 12th grades. We are like a family supporting one another, learning how to follow Jesus together and at school, reaching out to our friends and community, and of course having lots of fun!
Currently, our youth group meets for Sunday school (7-12th grades) after our services (at 11:10 am) and on Sunday afternoons or evenings for fun activities (6-12th grades). A girls bible study also meets on Sundays at 7pm on Zoom.
We explore what it means to follow Jesus through Bible study and discussion, games, and more. We enjoy monthly potluck dinners, do periodic fun activities and service/outreach events, and help plan and sometimes lead Sunday morning worship for our church.
