he Chabad Center for Jewish Life in Merrick has a little something for everyone in the Jewish community. Now, they've added a little something extra for Jewish teens.
Chabad has launched a chapter of their teen network, C-Teen, in our area. A kickoff event was held at Baseball Plus in Freeport on Thursday as teens met, mingled, and even managed a few swings in the batting cage.

The house on Seneca Gate is unassuming. From the outside, there's really nothing that makes it different from any other home in Merrick.
On the inside though, is the epicenter of Merrick's Jewish community, a thriving array of programs and classes, serving all Jews in southeast Nassau with unconditional love, allowing them to experience all the treasures of Jewish heritage. A membership in the thousands, strong and growing.
