ABOUT US
The Vineyard Chabad is a warm, welcoming, and non-partisan Jewish community on Martha's Vineyard. We host educational, cultural, and traditional programs and partner with local non-profits to benefit the greater Martha's Vineyard community.
PHILOSOPHY
We are founded on the principle that, while Jews may embrace many levels of observance in their personal lives, there should be a place for all Jews--regardless of background, knowledge, or affiliation--to develop a sense of community and enhance the experience of being Jewish.
We believe that every human being is created in G-d's image and is an integral part of the tapestry of G‑d's creation. With our unique contributions, each of us is here to create a better world and enhance the lives of others.
ORGANIZATION
Chabad is an international Jewish organization with centers in all fifty states and one hundred and ten countries worldwide. With the growing number of communities it serves, Chabad is the largest Jewish infrastructure globally. The Vineyard Chabad is an affiliate of Chabad Lubavich of Cape Cod directed by Rabbi Yekusiel & Devora Alperowitz.
FUNDING
Chabad of Martha's Vineyard is a non-profit organization funded exclusively by generous friends and donors. All contributions remain on Martha's Vineyard. Don't hesitate to contact us for sponsorship and partnership opportunities.
INSPIRATION
The Vineyard Chabad is guided and inspired by the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of blessed memory, who transformed Chabad into a global Jewish force and whose leadership, vision, and love are a beacon of light for all humanity.
