About
Forty seven years ago, Rabbi Joseph Gopin and his wife Miriam moved from Amherst, Massachusetts to Hartford, Connecticut. They set up shop in a small West Hartford apartment, where all were welcome to come for learning, counseling or a true Shabbat or Yom Tov experience. Since then Chabad has grown bigger and better, servicing Jews all over Connecticut, with Chabad Centers opening in Litchfield, Glastonbury, Farmington and college campuses.
Join us, learn with us, grow with us.
Judaism done joyfully.

Daily Thought
The sound of the shofar is not the cry of a human voice. It is the howl of an animal’s horn. It is a cry so primal, so raw, that the mind ceases to ponder, the heart suspends its throb. With the fury of a beast pent up in its cage, the naked essence of the soul bursts out, howling, ripping through heaven’s curtains, awakening the primal essence of all being. The raw core of your soul below touches the Primal Essence above, and now their reunion may begin.
