Wood Ranch, located in the hills of Simi Valley, California, is a bedroom community, home to an estimated 400 Jewish households. Until now, the local Chabad House was located at a considerable driving distance; it has become clear that Wood Ranch deserves its own Chabad House.
Baruch Hashem we have been chosen to develop Yiddishkeit within this beautiful neighborhood. We plan to organize many events and activities for the Jewish Wood Ranch community, including Minyonim within a decent walkable distance, holiday events, a women's club, and more.
Chabad at Wood Ranch's programming will aim to reach all ages, through an early childhood day care, Torah classes for adults, regular house visitations and holidays programs for the entire family.
In preparation for Pesach, we had a chance to deliver Matzah Shmurah to every known Jewish address in Wood Ranch. BH, there has many warm responses.
