If you’re seeking a connection to Judaism, I’ve found this to be a place of extraordinary meaning and purpose. The first time I attended was on a Friday night, and I was invited to Shabbat dinner with Rabbi Moshe and Rebbetzin Chana. I soon began attending on Saturdays and Sundays as well. Rabbi Moshe shares the lead with his son, Rabbi Levi, who lives nearby with his own family and is an outstanding chazan, engaging speaker, and gifted teacher. His prayers are both beautiful and deeply moving. The Wilanskys are a family with 13 children, yet they somehow make everyone feel as though they are part of the family. Nobody ever leaves on an empty stomach. The Rebbetzin’s cooking is exceptional. Hospitality isn’t something they do; it’s simply part of who they are. Many congregations employ rabbis and cantors to perform a role. Here, Judaism isn’t a job; it’s the family’s way of life. Nothing feels staged or manufactured. You’ll find something genuine that provides real meaning. As Chasidic Jews, they place a strong emphasis on spirituality and joyful living. They have a gift for making people feel welcome. Their home and their hearts are always open. This place has become a second home to me. Whether you grew up Orthodox or are simply curious about Judaism, you’ll be welcomed with warmth, respect, and genuine kindness.

We recently stayed at Chabad for Shabbos and had a fantastic time! The accomodations were so comfortable and the food was five star!!! The atmosphere throughout Shabbos was surreal!

We need to get millions of Jews here before climate change makes it impossible to live beyond Alaska aka Canada and orange rivers . I wanna partner with this Chabad and build the biggest shelters we can . We want to save as many Jews from other places the safest state in New England to settle is Maine with the sun getting closer to earth Moshe Stein . I look forward to the days when we have millions of Jews next to us

Rabbi Moshe and Rabbi Levi are the best. Chabad House is vital to the Jewish community. Chana Willansky is the heart of the home.
