The Chabad House in the Almaden neighborhood of San Jose, California was destroyed early Wednesday morning after flames burned through the building.
The arson investigators say the fire appeared to have started by someone outdoors in the carport and then extended into the attic space of The Chabad House.
Just 3 days later on Shabbos the Shul was broken into and vandalized! The case is still under investigation.
Rabbi Mendel Weinfeld and his wife Mussi just renovated and opened this new location three months ago. Now, theyāre left picking up the pieces.
Despite all of this destruction Baruch Hashem no one was injured and that the Sifrei Torah were saved!
AN EMERGENCY FUND WAS CREATED TO HELP THEM REBUILD.Ā

Are there any good insurance policies for shuls?
There surely is, we’re writing them all day!!
Donated. Thank you for posting.
Very sorry for the loss….
I am so sorry to hear this. Ugh. Such a tragedy.
Keep in mind that when donating with cash app the platforms can take their 5%+ fees.
Cashapp doesn’t take any fees
So sad! May you rebuild 10x as big!
Chabad has that reputable š HATZLACHA!
Oy. So sorry to hear! This is really sad post.
Hope you’ll see soon the “After Fire you become rich saying” hope you’ll rebuild something nice.
No insurance?
I’m sure there was but if you ever made an insurance claim you’d know that 1. There might be a high deductible 2. It might not cover all the damage done 3. Can take a year or two to get the money from them
Moshe, 1. so why can’t they raise the funds for the deductible, rather than a $250,000 charity campaign? 2. I don’t see why all the damage wouldn’t be covered, an assessor can get a clear indication of replacement costs. We had an issue a number of years ago, and everything was reimbursable from the fire damage, including the wear and tear underlying. 3. Not true. As with car damage claims via an insurer, it takes a few weeks at max for payment after the assessment. Relocation costs are usually covered too.
All the above: Depending on the policy…
oy, may mashiach be here and the new chabad house should be in yerushalayim
