| Many more than the expected 130 attendees showed up for Chabad Israeli Center of Rockville’s first services in its new building, and the rabbi’s sermon was met with thunderous applause. But it almost didn’t happen, between delays in building completion, a long after-hours meeting with city officials and a fire safety inspection hours before Rosh Hashanah services. Chabad Israeli Center of Rockville operated on Rollins Avenue for the past 22 years before announcing in fall 2025 that it would expand into an Israeli community center. |
