Who We are
A community-based organization, rooted in traditional Jewish values.
Our mission is to serve people of all faiths and backgrounds through a compendium of educational, religious and non-sectarian programs with spiritual and emotional assistance; with emphasis on aiding children with special needs, seniors and substance abuse prevention.
A man once came to see the Lubavitcher Rebbe to thank him for having dispatched a Chabad emissary to bring the joy of Judaism and the spirit of caring to a “little Jew in a wayward community.” The Rebbe responded: “There is no such thing as a ‘little Jew’ or a ‘wayward community.’ In the scope of G‑d’s master-plan, the fate of a single soul holds the same cosmic and monumental significance as that of the entire world.” This outlook – so essential to Judaism, in general, and Chabad, in particular – is indeed the guiding principle behind the ongoing outreach, educational and social service programs of Chabad of the Conejo.
Chabad of the Conejo means many things to many people. To some it’s a school and a youth center; to others it’s an adult education institute, a synagogue and a community center; to others still it’s a Friendship Circle for children with special needs, a Sunshine Club for seniors and a social service center for the needy and the troubled. Indeed, there is little within the realm of outreach and education that is outside of the sphere of focus of this multidimensional organization.
