30 years of Chabad in Berlin: more space for Jewish life

The article discusses the 30th anniversary of the Chabad Jewish community in Berlin and their plans to expand their central synagogue in Wilmersdorf to accommodate up to 600 worshippers by 2030. Rabbi Yehuda Teichtal, who founded the community in 1993, explains that the current synagogue is too small, often accommodating over 200 people during regular services and up to 1,000 during holidays. The Chabad community, which has grown to around 4,000 members, operates smaller synagogues across Berlin and recently opened a Jewish campus with a kindergarten and school. During the anniversary celebrations, they plan to unveil a new 'Torah for Germany' written entirely in the country. Federal President Julia Klöckner praised the community’s role in strengthening Jewish life in Germany.
