Chabad Lubavitch Of Sarasota & Manatee Counties

Chabad Lubavitch Of Sarasota & Manatee Counties Our philosophy is to respect, appreciate and educate Jewish families regardless of background. We continually seek new ways to interest Jews in Judaism.

Our philosophy remains surprisingly simple: Love every Jew, educate every Jew, and reach out to every Jew. We open our arms and our hearts to all, regardless of education or background. That’s a commitment we have honored throughout the greater Sarasota–Manatee area since November 1990 when the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, sent Rabbi Chaim & Sara Steinmetz as his emissaries to Sarasota. You won’t find us talking about concepts: we bring them to life. We personally welcome you to join us at any of our stimulating Torah classes, Synagogue Services, and year round family activities.

We were blessed with a beautiful and heartwarming Yom Kippur at Chabad of Sarasota. Although the day is solemn and meaningful, there was also a deep sense of happiness, connection, and community.

We are so grateful to our wonderful cantor, Nosson Oster, and to our Torah reader and Kohen, Joe Bartel, for helping make our services so meaningful.

Our beautiful Break-the-Fast was generously sponsored by Jeff & Nikki Sedacca and Linda Klafter and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. A special thank you to Mindy Bloom, Nurit Dallimore, and Paige Jones for generously volunteering their time to help prepare the delicious food.

What a beautiful celebration! More than 50 community members joined us for the ribbon-cutting and grand opening of Kosher Kaddy Express at Chabad of Sarasota. Sara Steinmetz cut the ribbon as everyone enthusiastically shouted “Mazel Tov!” in celebration of this wonderful new beginning. Participants also enjoyed a delightful food sampling prepared by Kosher Kaddy in honor of the special occasion.

Rabbi Chaim Steinmetz shared that making kosher food accessible to the community has been part of his goal and mission since he moved to Sarasota 37 years ago. This new addition represents another meaningful step toward fulfilling that mission.

Rabbi Mendel Rubashkin, owner of Kosher Kaddy, shared that the company was established in 2004. In addition to its delivery service, Kosher Kaddy Express now gives customers the convenience of seeing and selecting their meat in person through an easy scan-and-go shopping experience.

We are deeply grateful to Kosher Kaddy for collaborating with Chabad Lubavitch of Sarasota & Manatee Counties to bring this incredible upgrade to our community, and we thank everyone who came out to celebrate this exciting milestone with us!

Kosher Kaddy Express is located at Chabad of Sarasota, 7700 Beneva Road, and is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Everyone is welcome to stop by!
