At Chabad, we believe in an open-door policy, where everyone is welcome regardless of affiliation, background or financial status. Unlike traditional synagogues,
Chabad Jewish Center of Novato does not ask for annual membership dues or require any building fund payments. Yet, we still have bills to pay.
Each Chabad Center is self-supporting and is funded individually from the charitable giving of individuals.
The Chai Partner initiative is comprised of individuals committed to the financial support of Chabad Jewish Center of Novato. These monthly donations in multiples of $18 (the numeric value of the Hebrew word “Chai”, meaning life) add up and make a great difference in covering Chabad's operational budget and our many programs.
