New Shluchim to Florida

Since 1986, when $26 million was invested in the renovation of Fort Lauderdale Beach, the city has been redefined as an international center for leisure and recreation, as well as for business and culture.

Now, a young Chabad couple is joining the array of shops, restaurants, sidewalk cafes and entertainment venues.

Rabbi Chaim and Chayale Slavaticki and their daughter Devora Leah are moving on Shlichus to the popular tourist destination in Florida’s Broward County which is sometimes known as the “Venice of America.”

They will be opening a new Chabad House serving the local Jewish community in the beachfront neighborhood and the thousands of Jewish tourists and beach goers.

They were appointed to the post by Rabbi Moshe Meir Lipszyc, Executive Director of Chabad Lubavitch of Fort Lauderdale.

The Slavatickis have launched a fundraising campaign, noting that “unlike traditional synagogues, Chabad Jewish Center of Fort Lauderdale Beach does not ask for annual membership dues or require any building fund payments.”

They have created the Chai Club asking supporters to commit a monthly donation (or one time donation) in a multiple of 18, or Chai which means life in Hebrew. Visit, DonateChai.com or email [email protected]
