Chabad House Crete operates in Hersonissos and provides a Jewish address for travelers and Jews on the island. Here, people gather around Shabbat and holiday tables, enjoy kosher food, join prayer and study, and find someone to turn to when help is needed.<\/p>

Behind the house stand Rabbi Schneur and Mishka Turnheim. After nine years of shlichut in Beijing, they moved to Hersonissos to establish and develop a Chabad House in Crete. Together with their family and the community, they continue to build a place that connects people and enables them to maintain a connection to tradition even far from home.<\/p>

Before your visit, you can check the operating hours, register for Shabbat meals, and choose the service that suits the place where you are staying. For personal inquiries, questions, or to coordinate your arrival, we are available at the contact information at the bottom of the page.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
