Join us for warm and welcoming Shabbat services at Chabad of Jamaica! User-friendly, explanatory services open to all, no matter one’s background or affiliation.

We established the first Chabad House in Jamaica with a Jewish Welcome Center to service the spiritual and physical needs of the Jewish visitors to the Island as well as the local Jewish population.

Chabad of Jamaica’s doors are open to every Jew, regardless of background or affiliation. It’s a place where questions are embraced and Judaism is observed meaningfully and joyfully.

Shabbat morning services:
9:30 - 11:00 AM followed by a delicious buffet kiddush with a hot cholent.

For questions about the Minyan, find out the times for weekday Mincha/Marriv or if you need to say Kaddish, please contact the Rabbi.

Many Kosher food options are available through Chabad. Click here for more information. Local Supermarkets carry the basic national products with kosher symbols (bagels, cereals, mayonnaise, chips, canned foods etc.). The large grocery stores located near Chabad are Progressive food. There are grocery stores throughout the island.

There are no Cholov Yisroel or Pas Yisroel products in the local supermarkets.

Our goal: is to strengthen Jewish awareness and pride for the Jewish residence, and the thousands of visitors to Jamaica, regardless of background or affiliation. To spread acts of goodness and kindness to all humanity!

Rabbi Yaakov Raskin was born and raised in Montreal, Canada as one of seven siblings. He is a grandchild of the Chabad emissaries to Casablanca, Morocco and a child to Chabad emissaries of Cote Saint Luc in Montreal. As a teenager and later as an adult, he found his calling as a Rabbinical student traveling across the United States, France, Canada, England, and the Caribbean Islands, spreading the wellsprings of Judaism near and far.

Now, together with his wife Mushkee, they seek to permanently answer their true calling: To celebrate Judaism and the warmth of our great heritage together with the Jamaica community and the many tourists, no matter ones previous background or affiliation.
