קצת אור דוחה הרבה חושך

A little light pushes away a great deal of darkness. One candle. One mitzvah. One soul remembering who it is.

In the spirit of the Lubavitcher Rebbe

Our story

Built on one idea: every Jew matters.

Chabad came to Toms River with a simple mission. No Jew in Ocean County should ever feel alone, and no door should ever be hard to find.

We're not here to ask how observant you are or how much you know. We're here to make Jewish life warm, accessible and yours. A Shabbat dinner when you need one, a class when you're curious, a hand when life gets heavy, and a celebration whenever there's something to celebrate.

That's the whole revolution. One person, one mitzvah, one act of light at a time.

With warmth, the Chabad of Toms River family

Keep the candles lit for the next family who walks in.

Every class, every holiday, every Shabbat meal is made possible by people who believe a warm Jewish home should be here for everyone. Join them.
