Uptown Stuff… 

  • CLOCK CHANGE: Shabbos from now on (through the summer) will be held in Uptown on Friday night at 7:30 pm and Shabbos morning at 10am. Candle lighting this week at: 7:12 pm
  • New Parsha Series course by JLI - Want to get intimate with the infinite?
    Join us for "Bonding" - A seven week series on the Book of Leviticus.
    You thought Leviticus was an ancient priestly code. Well it is - most of it. But hidden within the esoteric are keys for any human being to bond with the most transcendental spiritual force there is - and to bring that force down into practical, earthly life.
    Check your mailboxes for the postcard! Two offerings in Uptown - Begins Tues., March 20 Lunch at 12-1:15pm; Thurs., March 22 at 8-9pm
  • Mommy & Me winter session carries on. Spring and summer session dates have been set. Watch a great video here!
  • Pesach - Chabad of Uptown will be closed - sorry! / We will be open for business the Shabbos immediately before and after.
  • American "Idle" Purim was an amazing success! Over 70 people competed and enjoyed a multimedia megilla and purim feast. See pics here and great video here!
