In 2024, Boca Beach Chabad ushered in a new era with the purchase of a new home at the corner of Palmetto Park Road and 5th Avenue, located at 490 E. The center has been renamed Boca Beach Chabad Jewish Center, marking a significant step forward for the Jewish community in East Boca.
Chabad’s presence in Boca Raton began in 1989 with centers in Central and West Boca. Recognizing
the growing Jewish community in East Boca, Chabad appointed Rabbi Ruvi and Ahuva New to open a branch in East Boca in September 1999. Boca Beach Chabad Jewish Center is the only synagogue east of Federal Highway; and offers a wide variety of programs and services, with a focus on adult education and community engagement, including:
Coffee and Kabbalah on Sunday mornings at 10 AM
Torah and Tea for Women on Tuesdays at 10 AM
Lunch and Learn on Thursdays at noon
JLI Courses (Jewish Learning Institute)
Women of Valor events
Shabbatons throughout the year
Rabbi New's Daily Dose of Torah podcast
In addition to adult education, Boca Beach Chabad is home to the Chabad Hebrew School, where children receive a strong foundation in Jewish education, providing a unique and enriching experience for young teens. The center is also excited to introduce the Jewish Center of the Arts (JCOTA), a space for artistic expression and Jewish cultural programming. For more information about our programs and events, please visit us at JewishBocaBeach.org and Chabadbocabeaches.com
Boca Beach Chabad Jewish Center remains a welcoming and inclusive place for all Jews, regardless of background or affiliation, to connect, learn, and grow together in community and tradition.
