Excitement is building and construction is coming along!
Over the past few weeks the site has been cleared of all debris and the pad for the new building has been prepared and set. The forms for the new foundations and footing have also been created. Additionally, all the plumbing lines in the old part of the building have been cut.

Here we go!
Construction (or shall we say destruction) has begun on the new Chabad of Parkland Center for Jewish Life.
(Chabad's offices have moved temporarily to the side of the building right behind the existing Synagogue Modular)
June 2015
After a lengthy permitting process we are pleased to announce that we have received all the necessary permits from the city of Parkland and Broward County to begin construction on the Michael & Betsy Brauser Chabad of Parkland Center for Jewish Life which also serves as the regional HQ for Chabad in N. Broward and Palm Beach Counties, The Beatrice & Delbert Mintz Hebrew School and The Friendship Circle. This was an arduous process with many challenges and setbacks, mainly as a result of pre-existing issues relating to the property. We are very excited that building will begin within a matter of weeks. We look forward to a very exciting next phase in the construction of our new beautiful Campus.
The Plan approved!
May - December 2014 - The Road/Sidewalk

Parklanders were captivated as the Synagogue stopped traffic on Loxahatchee Rd. for some 10 minutes as they arrived safely yesterday at 5:00pm. Thank you to the tireless dedication and hard work of Natan Greenstein (our volunteer contractor) and to of all our supporters who made this a reality.
