Chabad School

We were aware that at some point in history a Chabad School existed at Rachel Imenu 28. The evidence for this was a photograph in the Municipal Archive that showed a sign above the front door, proclaiming that the building was the home of the "Campus Haya Mouchka." The picture was undated and we did not know which years the Chabad school existed or details about it.

Recently we discovered information about this stage of the building's life. Apparently, the Chabad school was located there from 2001, taking over the building from Reut. It was there at least two years, but possibly it was there until 2006, when One Family moved in. Further clarification is necessary.

In an article on a website called "Chabad Info" the school was for French girls who came to Israel for three years of high school. The girls

"live in an atmosphere of lively Hassidism, in the spirit of the Messiah and Redemption."

Describing the campus, we are told that, in addition to the many pictures of the Rebbe, the school is

"immersed in green vegitation, decorated with flags of the Messiah and with a pastural, gladdening atmosphere.

The school was run by Rabbi Shalom bar Sheshet and his wife Rivka, now of Kfar Chabad. In 2003, 40 girls were learning in the school.
