What is Chabad of Wallingford?
What is Chabad?
Well, that depends on you.
For many, Chabad is a delicious Shabbat dinner shared with friends, or a way to celebrate the Jewish holidays together. For others, it’s a friend and a listening ear, or a place to discover the tremendous depth and beauty of Judaism through engaging classes and meaningful conversations.
But for everyone, Chabad is a place where you are accepted and truly welcome—no matter your background, level of observance, or affiliation.
Our Chabad House is a home away from home for every Jew in Wallingford and the surrounding towns. A hub for spiritual learning and growth through weekly classes and programs. A place to celebrate our holidays and rich Jewish heritage together.
It’s happening—and you can be a part of it.

Daily Thought
Some people think that if they were truly spiritual, they would never eat.
In truth, few acts are as divine as eating food.
Eating is similar to sifting gold. You grasp the divine spark within a food and reject the dross. And then, in the mitzvahs energized by that food, you carry that divine spark back to its origin within the oneness of its Creator.
That is why there are foods that are forbidden and foods that are permissible. The Hebrew word for “forbidden” is assur—meaning tied down. “Permissible” is mutar—untied.
Kosher means “fit.” Foods that are assur are not fit for the divine act of eating...
