Your Gift Matters — Right Now

What is Chabad Jewish Center?

Chabad Jewish Center of South Dakota serves the Jewish community in Sioux Falls and across the state with warmth, joy, and authenticity. We provide Jewish education, celebration, and connection in a welcoming environment where every Jew belongs, regardless of background or affiliation.

Together, we are building a stronger, more vibrant Jewish future in South Dakota.

Beyond the Jewish community, Chabad plays a meaningful role in strengthening South Dakota as a whole — fostering understanding, civic engagement, and a sense of shared community. We are dedicated to serving, growing, and building together, and today we are asking for your partnership.

Chabad is the largest Jewish educational organization in America and the fastest-growing Jewish movement in the world. That growth is happening right here in South Dakota, because of people like you.

A Blossoming Jewish Community!

South Dakota is a great place to be Jewish.

In recent years, the Jewish community has grown steadily. Through Chabad, Jews of all ages and backgrounds are finding connection, continuity, and a true sense of home.

This growth strengthens South Dakota itself. Chabad’s work helps attract and retain professionals, enriches the cultural fabric of our state, and contributes to economic vitality and community life across South Dakota.

Double Your Impact — Limited-Time Matching Campaign

Running Chabad Jewish Center of South Dakota requires tremendous time, energy, and resources. There is no central foundation supporting our work, and we do not charge membership fees, ensuring that no one is ever turned away.

We rely entirely on the generosity of people who care.

Right now, several generous donors have stepped forward to match every contribution, dollar for dollar, up to $50,000, for this campaign only.

That means:

• $100 becomes $200

• $250 becomes $500

• $500 becomes $1,000

• $1,000 becomes $2,000

Every gift, of any size, is doubled.
