Chabad of Sacramento

Rabbi Mendy Cohen is a good man with a good heart. You will often see him in the news as the face of Jewish leadership in Sacramento. He is very welcoming and will help you feel at home in the Chabad of Sacramento. His sense of humor is something that is easily admired.
The Sacbee once said of him, «with his full beard and sideburns, a wide black hat and somber clothing, looks a little strange, it’s because he takes the Bible as his fashion guide. His fidelity to the ways of Hasidic Judaism makes him a highly visible presence in town and a rarity among the Sacramento area’s 21,000 or so Jews. He does not mind the attention. Far from it. Cohen, who founded Chabad of Sacramento [in 1994], does not shy from controversy or publicity.»
The Kiddush after Shabbat services (10:00 am on Saturdays, check their site for the time each Friday evening) is a treat that warms the heart, the belly, and strengthens bonds within the community.
