Inspired by the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Chabad of the Lehigh Valley was established in January 2001 by Rabbi Yaakov and Devorah Halperin and is affiliated with Chabad of Greater Philadelphia.
Based in Allentown, PA, our focus is on the spiritual and social needs of local Jews of all ages. We are dedicated to the furtherance of Jewish education at all levels in the hope that it will inspire you to explore your heritage and strengthen your Jewish connection.
