The Celebration

Years of Jewish life in Cincinnati

Join us as we celebrate thirty six years of impact, friendship, and Jewish life throughout Cincinnati.

Thirty six years ago, Rabbi Yisroel and Chana Mangel arrived in Cincinnati with their one month old son Mendel and a dream: to establish a Chabad Jewish Center in Cincinnati's northeastern suburbs and create a welcoming place where every Jew could experience the warmth, meaning, and joy of Judaism.

Today, we look back with tremendous pride and gratitude on thirty six years of growth, friendship, learning, celebration, and Jewish connection. Chabad has grown into a welcoming family and a home for Jewish life.

None of this belongs to one person or one family. It is a shared story, built together with the thousands of people who have walked through Chabad's doors, participated in its many programs, supported its work, and made it their own.

At this milestone celebration, we take special pride in honoring the nine Mangel children

Mendel · Chavi · Leibel · Heshel · Shneur · Fayga · Levi · Chaya · Menucha

They didn't simply grow up watching Chabad's story unfold. They grew up as part of it.

They shared their parents, their home, their Shabbos and Yom Tov tables, and countless family moments with a community that was constantly growing around them. They welcomed guests, participated in programs, helped whenever another pair of hands was needed, and experienced firsthand what it means for a family to dedicate itself to building Jewish life.

In many ways, the Chabad community became their extended family, and they became part of the community's family as well.

Honoring them is our opportunity to say thank you for the part they played and the journey they shared.

Together, we celebrate our first thirty six years, and together, we build the next thirty six.

We invite our community to join us in person and through sponsorship as we celebrate this milestone and honor the Mangel children together.
