Home to the headquarters of major corporations like Sbarro food chain, Nikon, and now, Canon USA, Melville NY is attracting young families. With the launch of a $3.5 million building campaign, Chabad of Huntington will soon make the move from their current off-base location to better serve its Jewish community.
The generously sized state-of-the-art facility will be in the heart of Melville, in south Huntington. The 1.4 acre property is located near the town center, public school and library, and close by to Melvilles burgeoning business district. Two hundred Jewish families live within a one mile radius of the new building.
Community members are very pleased with the news, and theyve stepped forward to support the building campaign, said Rabbi Asher Vaisfiche, director of Chabad of Huntington since he established the center together with his wife Miriam in 1991.
The building will include a sanctuary, a mikvah, a multi-purpose social hall and classrooms for Hebrew School.
