Building the Future of the Jewish life in Panama City Beach.

Together .

We are excited to announce that Chabad Lubavitch of Panama City Beach is about to purchase a promising property for the Chabad Jewish Center! We are launching a building campaign. This spacious building, centrally located, will allow for many meaningful Jewish experiences.  

Currently, a single room serves as the primary location in which we juggle prayer services, meals, classes, Kids school and events.  But our planned expansion will allow us to massively increase the number of attendees we can impact at once by providing a large social hall, school classrooms, a commercial kitchen, a beautiful outdoor space, and a dedicated shul.  

The new Chabad will offer locals, families and visitors a place to socialize,
study, and strengthen themselves as they experience and enjoy their Judaism.

This Chabad Jewish Community Center will be a place to everyone.

With your help, we can bring this vision to fruition.

THE VISION

Overview

At present, Chabad Center located at a rented office, and has one primary space that functions as the shul, the dining hall, the workshop space, the classroom, the kids' school, the meeting room and the party space. Often, within one evening, we have to shift the function of the space, forcing us to move furniture and alter the room set up while navigating the crowd. Every event we have to find another location, to host the community together. Needless to say, this is both challenging and exhausting.

Chabad PCB needs a house.

Thanks to community friends, we are going to have the opportunity we have been looking for almost 3 years. After Hurricane Michael, purchasing a space in Panama City Beach has become almost impossible. Our community wants to grow, we want to have more visitors and members, to offer more classes, to have more students, but the room is too small. Now we got the opportunity, non-returning opportunity to purchase a building, in central location, to serve the growing and vibrant Jewish Community in Panama City Beach. The current vision is to purchase that building and renovate at it in order to get more than 5,000 square feet facility.

We propose to accomplish with the following proposal.

Proposal  

The Chabad Building proposal is to build the essentials that will allow us to more comfortably accommodate our current activity and meet the anticipated growing demands.

The primary focus of this phase is to build:

• A beautiful spacious social hall that can comfortably seat a big crowd of people

• A commercially equipped kitchen to service the local crowd and tourists

• A separate Passover kitchen to allow for more efficient holiday preparation

• A dedicated children’s classroom

• A totally renovated outdoor landscape
