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
Once the promised land was settled, every household brought a sample of their first fruits to the Temple every year and thanked G‑d for the land. But not until all Jews were safe and settled, each on their own plot of land. Because that is the way the Jewish nation operates: Like brothers and sisters. Not one of us can feel thoroughly grateful for their own welfare until everyone else is taken care of. Likutei Sichot vol. 9, p. 152.
