The Jewish Single

Regardless of how crowded and populated Jewish Long Island may seem, it can seem incredibly lonely. In the modern world, with all of our technology and means of impersonal convenience, more people suffer from the frustration of lonesomeness than one could ever imagine.

The Chai Center NY is pleased to offer their assistance in helping Jewish individuals find their soul mates. Any Jewish singles of any age, with any level of religious observance are urged to join.

The first step is to fill out the online application at the Dix Hills Jewish Chai Center website. The information you provide is the main guide for our staff to help you find a match. And don’t hold back! All the information you provide will only be viewed by our Rabbi and his assistant, both of whom take the confidentiality of your application very seriously.

The Chai Center is pleased to offer their assistance to all single Jews of any age. And while it doesn’t matter what your level of observance is, it’s important you indicate where you would prefer the level of your matches to be. Our intent is to match individuals within the same age who are looking for the same kind of person. Although The Chai Center is based in Suffolk County, Jewish singles from all over Long Island are welcome.

Our only request is that we dance at the wedding!

Dix Hills Jewish Center Chai High

The Ultimate Teen Jewish Learning Experience!

It’s important for Jewish Long Island parents to stay committed in providing their sons and daughters with an intense level of secular education, so as to give them the best chance for success in life. However, by that same token, it’s clear a healthy amount of Jewish knowledge, beyond the well-known Bible-stories they’re taught in Hebrew school, can be just as important as their secular schooling, if not more so, while additionally providing the opportunity to explore and examine their own Jewish identity.

After all, these kids aren’t really kids anymore. They are more than ready to learn as adults, to be challenged, engaged, and ask the tough questions while exploring and discussing the relevance of what it means to be a Jew in the modern world.

The curriculum is always adapting and improving, while always a guarantee to spark lively debates and discussions. Lesson topics include Science vs. The Torah, suicide and self harm, peer pressure, drugs and alcohol, the value of money, the power of the soul and ones obligations to strangers.

Chai High takes place at the Dix Hills Jewish Chai Center on Thursdays from 7:00 – 8:30 pm. For Registration information, click HERE. Chai High promises to teach your children lifelong Jewish lessons and morals that will not only guide, but empower them into adulthood.

The Chai Center "Ask the Rabbi!" Feature

One of the most personal, interactive, yet informational features of the Lobavitch Chai Center of Dix Hills website is the “Ask the Rabbi” feature. Located on the top right-side of the page, the Ask the Rabbi section provides visitors with an easy-to-use application that allows questions of any nature to get the attention of spiritual leaders.

This section of The Chai Center website also contains an Archives section, which contains detailed and educated responses to previous inquiries from other curious visitors. Among these other questions:

“Why is the Mezuzah Slanted?”

“Is there a blessing for a Volcano?”

“Is Honey Kosher for Passover?”

Not all of the questions are religious-specific, however. One writer spoke of how he and his father often turn polite discussions into angry outburst with “mutual, full-blown frontal attacks” that upset their entire family. Using the Chai Center website, this distressed son was able to seek the advice he needed to bring peace in his family.

Other non-religious-specific inquiries included “coping with suicide” and “should I remarry?” showing that the Chai Center “Ask the Rabbi” section can provide helpful advice to Jews of any level of observance.

The section also provides an option for any guests of the site to deposit any other general inquiries for the staff of The Chai Center unrelated to rabbinical advice.
