HELP US LAUNCH OUR SHLICHUS
Chabad Lubavitch of Greater Gainesville & Manassas, Virginia
ABOUT THE AREA
Ask a local what comes to mind at mention of Gainesville, VA, and a Jewish community is an unlikely response. The history of Gainesville dates back to the early 18th century—serving as a changing point for stagecoach horses, and even seeing the likes of Thomas Jefferson—though it is yet to be the home of a synagogue or Jewish center.
​
Today Gainesville is a suburban city in Northern Virginia. The city offers a wonderful, affordable housing and great education and recreation, attracting an influx of new home homeowners and families.
With phenomenal growth in the area, there is a clear need to create an open center for the hundreds of Jewish families living there and the multitudes arriving in the near future.
As of today there is no Jewish federation or local Jewish Center that services the area. Over the last year we have begun Jewish programming in the area and our work has been received with excitement and interest.
THE TEAM

Shmuly, raised in Chicago, is hardworking and creative. Goldie, a Brooklyn girl, is outgoing and dynamic. Shmuly has directed Chabad programming and given Torah Classes, and Goldie taught in preschool - elementary school and has helped in summer camps around the globe.
