This familiar slogan, used in one of the greatest ad campaigns of all time, is true about Bais Chabad of West Bloomfield as well.
Unconditional love, genuine friendship, Jewish pride, children discovering their heritage, young adults rediscovering their heritage, the warmth of a Shabbat dinner with old and new friends, engaging Torah study, a festive Simchat Torah dance, a shoulder to lean on in times of pain, an awareness that I am never alone... these are things money can't buy.
But, to help cover the costs of the programs that bring these priceless treasures to life, we are dependent on the generosity and support of people like you. Today, your donation will be doubled and will support all the programs that bring the light and love of Torah and Mitzvot to the community.
During these 30 hours there is a unique opportunity for your generosity to be doubled. Thanks to generous matchers, every dollar you give will be doubled, up to 180k, and will help support all of the activities of Bais Chabad.
In the last year alone, Bais Chabad has launched several major projects, including:

Torah Classes
The hallmark of the Bais Chabad Torah Center has always been the Torah study opportunities it has provided. Thousands of people have been (and continue to be) inspired by the wisdom and guidance of Torah, as it is provided by the many expert teachers at Bais Chabad. Classes on Talmud, Kaballah, Jewish Law, Hebrew, Prayer, Ethics, the list goes on. In addition to the classes, we are happy to provide one-on-one learning opportunities with one of our qualified Rabbis or Rebbetzins.
Young Families
Bais Chabad is home to a thriving, growing community of young families. Bais Chabad is committed to assisting young families, spiritually and materially, and providing much needed support and camaraderie through the challenges (and joys) of raising children. Hebrew School of the Arts, Mommy & Me programs, Jewish Birthday Club, Weekly Shabbat Children's Program.
Community Holiday programs
The Sherrill Berman Shofar Factory, Chanukah Wonderland, and Douglas and Barbara Bloom Matzah Bakery highlight the many holiday programs Bais Chabad brings (often alongside wonderful community partners) to thousands across the community. Children create and preserve a joyous connection to the Jewish holidays with these educational, yet thrilling holiday programs.
