Shalom, loved to read your blog. Don'tknow how you do it! We live in Jerusalem in the summer and go to Palm Beach, Florida for the winter, where we belong to a wonderful shul run by Rabbi Moshe and Dini Scheiner also Chabad for several generations, under 40 and have 5 little ones. They started 14 years ago when they were first married and built the shul to over 300 families in a town that didn't allow Jews until 25 or 30 years ago. I wish we could come for Shabbat but my husband (90 yrs. young) and a bit disabled. We are ordering a Shabbat meal to come to the Hotel. We wish you mazal in looking for your new and bigger Chabad House. Warm regards from Yael and Micha Taubman We are at the Royal Olympic Hotel and cruise from Sunday.

Hi, I'm Nehama Hendel, and I'm a bit of a wandering Jew: born and raised in France, I studied in Israel, then lived in the United States before ending up in Athens, Greece.
Together with my husband, Mendel, we operate the Chabad center here since 2001. Our three kids (ftu ftu:) help us in this exciting undertaking (by not disturbing too much :).
