Dear Members and Friends,

As we enter the 35th year of Chabad of Plano, we’re filled with gratitude—for your partnership, your participation, and the vibrant Jewish community we’ve built together.

Looking ahead, we are offering a full calendar of thoughtfully planned programs designed to engage every age and stage of our community. Highlights include:

CTeen; we are excited to announce the opening of a dedicated CTeen lounge to accommodate the tremendous growth and success of this past year.

Chabad Young Plano (CYP); we will continue with the very successful monthly family Shabbat Services and family fun days as well as adding new programming for this demographic of our community.

Four Community Shabbos Dinners; warm and welcoming Friday-night experiences each catering to a different group within our community including- Preschool families, Hebrew school families, Chabad Young Plano, and a special Chanukah dinner for adults only.

Day of Learning Retreat; a special morning of guest speakers, interactive workshops, and shared inspiration to enrich our learning and strengthen our bonds.

Women’s Kintsugi Workshop; during this hands-on workshop, each woman will create her own piece of kintsugi—the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold—while exploring its powerful Jewish message of resilience and healing.

The Mentsch Club; building on last year’s success and enthusiastic feedback, the Mentsch (men’s) Club will gather five times throughout the year. Each evening will feature the cuisine of a different country, along with a fascinating talk exploring the Jewish history of that region.

Trips to the Ohel and Crown Heights; separate men’s and women’s trips will offer participants an uplifting opportunity to visit the Rebbe’s Ohel (resting place), experience the energy and history of Crown Heights, and enjoy meaningful time together.

Annual Program Guide; stay tuned for our upcoming guide packed with events, classes, and opportunities to get involved throughout the year.
Your membership is what makes all of this possible. It allows us to serve every age and stage, to dream big, and to keep building a vibrant Jewish future—together. Thank you for standing with us. We’re so glad you’re here.

With appreciation and warmest wishes,
