Additionally, one of our members has established a Medical Equipment GeMaCH to offer free-loan medical equipment to those in need. Another member has also created a weekly Women’s Tehillim Group.
Please note that, since the loss of our synagogue building in Katrina, daily minyanim have been held at Chabad. Weekday Shacharit is at 7AM at the uptown Chabad House (8AM on Sundays) and Mincha/Maariv is approximately 15 minutes before sunset at the Metairie Chabad Center, 4141 West Esplanade Ave. Additionally, information for the Chabad mikvah is available here.
