Chabad of Upper Montgomery County
Lets Purchase the Final Property on Site!
THANK YOU! WE DID IT! We raised $199,537 for Chabad of Upper Montgomery County!
Completing the Chabad Campus!
Purchasing the last lot on the property
Our community has a special opportunity. Chabad sits on a four lot property. In 1997 the property of Chabad was purchased and the beautiful Shul was built. In 2000, Rabbi & Mrs. Sholom Raichik sold their home in Montgomery Village and purchased the adjacent house. In 2024, one of the two remaining homes went onto the market. Rabbi & Mrs. Mendel Raichik sold their home and together with assistance of the community, purchased the house. Now the last home on the property is for sale.
With the purchase of the home, Chabad will have all four lots. We will have free access to the entire space, will be able to fence in for security, expand in the future and much more. After renovations, the new house will be used as a Shabbat home for guests and people who want to be near the Shul, a Shabbat residence for families of patients in Shady Grove Adventist Hospital, and a Kosher Airbnb for rentals.
But we need your assistance
We are out of homes to sell to make this purchase. We are asking for your help to make this happen.
In 1997 when we were looking for a property for Chabad, we told our real estate agent that we want the front two acres of the then National Geographic [now Montgomery County Government] property. We ended up purchasing the home across the street. With this purchase, that original dream of two acres on Darnestown Rd. will be complete.
How can I help?
We are looking to raise $180,000 by June 30. We are asking you to consider a donation in multiples of $1800, i.e. $1800, $3600, $5400 etc. Donations totaling 100 multiples of $1800 will get us all to the goal of $180,000.
