Jewish Women In Long Island Live With Hope
When Cindy Knoll was diagnosed with breast cancer at 31, her youngest had just celebrated her first birthday. Her husband and family kicked in to care for her, and Cindy credits her survival to the tremendous support she received. But not everyone has a system that heals and cares and does the dishes. Based at the Chabad Center for Jewish Life in Merrick, Long Island, the Circle offers support groups, financial backing, home cooked meals, and a shoulder to cry on.

Israel's President Rivlin Makes A Wish
Remarks by Israel’s President, Reuven Rivlin on March 19, 2018 at a conference sponsored by TheMarker, an Israeli daily business newspaper published by Haaretz. "I’ve come here in honor of Israel’s 70th birthday with a rather unusual wish, namely, that we succeed to build up the “middle”; that we learn to love and value the attribute of the 'beinoni.' Remarks of this nature, I admit, would have been out of place at an economic conference some years back. But thanks to the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Chabad’s conceptual ideas have made it into our modern day vernacular."

The programs we established using these funds are successful still today.”
