About
Chabad of Altoona is a home where everyone is welcome - regardless of affiliation, level of knowledge or observance.
We strive to create a warm, welcoming environment to explore and experience our heritage in a non-judgmental and inviting atmosphere.
We are founded on the principle that, while Jews may embrace many levels of observance in their personal lives, there should be a place for all Jews - no labels, no affiliations - to develop a sense of community, to enhance the experience of being Jewish, to learn and enjoy Judaism.

Daily Thought
Esau said, “I have a lot.” Jacob said, “I have all.” As in “all I need.” Esau had a family of six. They were called “six souls.” Plural. Jacob had a family of seventy. They were called “seventy soul.” Singular. Esau lived in a granular, tossed-together, fragmented world in which he collected a lot of things and many people. A noisy world. Jacob lived in a universe, a singular whole, in which all he encountered was only another manifestation of an essential oneness. Wherever he was, he had everything. And you? Do you have many things? Or do you have much light? Maamar Hechaltzu 5659, chapter 3.
