Venice is a city replete with Jewish history, including the first printing of holy books, such as two of Judaism's most important, the Rambam's Mishneh Torah and the Shulchan Aruch. For two decades, Chabad of Venice has been serving tourists from all over the world, as well as our local community. We hope you enjoy reading about our activities, which are certain to inspire. From what the past 20 years has already brought to the city, you can trust that Chabad of Venice will continue to deliver the best of Jewish education, art and culture.

In addition to the Chabad House, which serves as a welcoming center to the Jewish Ghetto, other staples of Jewish life are making an active daily Jewish lifestyle possible, such as kosher food and special event catering from GAM-GAM Kosher Restaurant, world-renowned Shabbat and Holiday Hospitality programs, a rabbinical yeshiva with a synagogue which offers tourists and Venetians morning, afternoon and evening services every day and soon, the completion of a state-of-the-art mikva.

GAM-GAM and the Chabad House promote culture in a number of ways, including hosting art exhibitions featuring Venetian and other Jewish artists. Chabad of Venice seeks to empower and inspire young people through education and training, and creating career opportunities for them, helping them every step of the way to achieve their potential. We just celebrated the sixth year since the establishment of the first children's Jewish Day School here in Venice in over 50 years, and are seeing tremendous growth as new young families are making Venice their home. The children's Education Center currently serves ages 6 months through third grade. We are looking forward to adding a new grade each year, watching the school grow as the children grow. Israel's visiting top educators and principals hailed the education center for its excellence in applications of technology in the classroom and its unique, flagship curriculum.

The Rabbinical Yeshiva is also playing a major role in reviving the oldest Jewish Ghetto in the world. 300,000 Jewish tourists visit Venice yearly, the majority of whom experience Judaism through one of our outreach programs, and for a few, this is their first Jewish experience. The yeshiva recently hosted a "Hakhel" 10-year Reunion of its first year graduates, celebrating increased Torah learning in Venice and the more than 80 yeshiva graduates who are now serving as Rabbi's in communities all over the world, including: Australia, California, South Africa, Chile, Israel, Belgium, France, New York, Canada, Russia, Ukraine, Argentina, Brazil and Bolivia. The yeshiva is making positive changes in people's lives all over the globe.

If you want to see results, if you want to see impact, please make the investment in Chabad of Venice today enabling us to continue our dedicated mission of growth of Jewish education, art and culture in this historical gem of a city.
