Chabad of South Huntington Beach was established by Rabbi Yossi and Yiska Berkowitz in 2005. Our aim is to give meaning, share joy and add spirituality to the every day. Our dream is to teach these values in a warm and nurturing environment where people can grow together, enjoying life and Judaism simultaneously.
We invite you to explore our site and join in our many programs, celebrations, and events. You will find a calendar packed with something for everyone - parents, children, youth and adults.
Master of the Universe! The sages of the Talmud pleaded before You to bring the Moshiach, but You chose not to do so. The holy Kabbalists of Tzfat begged You to bring Moshiach -- again You were unwilling. We have reached the point where it is left to someone of my ilk to ask for the Redeemer. Still You are holding out.... Mark my words! There will come a generation who will have no interest in You or Your Moshiach. Then You will have no choice but to bring him.
Chassidic master Rabbi Leib, the "Grandfather of Shpoli" (1725-1811)
