Our mission is to strengthen Jewish identity and community among Hebrew-speaking Jews and Jewish travelers in Cape Town by providing a warm, welcoming environment that offers spiritual, educational, and social support. The Chabad House serves as a vibrant hub where individuals and families can celebrate Jewish life, find inspiration, and connect with others through holiday events, weekly classes, children's programs, and Shabbat meals. We are committed to being a home away from home for both local residents and international visitors, offering care, compassion, and a strong sense of belonging. In 2024, Friends of Cape Town Chabad House Inc. experienced remarkable growth, serving as a vibrant, welcoming hub for the 1,000 Hebrew-speaking Jews in Cape Town. We hosted weekly Torah study groups for men and women, fostering spiritual growth and community connection. Our Shabbat meals brought together families, individuals, and those in need, providing warm, inclusive experiences for those unable to host their own. Our children's programs, held throughout the week and especially before Jewish holidays, offered hands-on, engaging educational experiences. These events attracted 20-30 children each, blending creativity, holiday crafts, and Jewish values in a fun, dynamic atmosphere. Highlights of the year included: A joyous Purim celebration with over 150 attendees. A beautiful community Passover Seder, uniting 120 participants in a festive, family-like setting. Meaningful holiday celebrations for Rosh Hashanah, Chanukah, Shavuot, and more, each fostering community spirit and Jewish pride. Weekly men's gatherings every Tuesday, drawing 20-30 participants, and women's circles every Monday, focusing on creativity, motherhood, and spiritual growth. Additionally, we provided essential support to Jewish travelers visiting Cape Town. The Chabad House served as a lifeline, offering kosher meals, Shabbat experiences, and assistance during medical emergencies or accidents. We were a compassionate presence, ensuring no Jew felt alone, even far from home. 5000 69452 69452 Yechezkiel Yehuda Malka President 20 0 0 0 Michael Zajac Treasurer 2 0 0 0 Menachem Mendel Babayov Secretary 1 0 0 0 X 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NY Yechezkiel Yehuda Malka 99 E 38th Street Brooklyn NY 11203 3477700771 0 1 SF 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 74996 33966 98019 206981 0 0 74996 33966 98019 206981 206981 0 0 74996 33966 98019 206981 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 Grant to FRIENDS OF CHABAD TAKAYAMA JAPAN INC Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Shabbos Services and Programs;14087|Holiday Services and Programs;14540|Travel and Meetings;11039|Automobile Expense;20362|Religious Supplies;2489|Adult Education Programs;2211|Office and Administrative expenses;1422|Furnishing;1038^Total;67188^ Form 990-EZ, Part V, Line 34 The Name was changed from FRIENDS OF YOUNG JEWISH SWEDEN INC to Friends of Cape Town Chabad House Inc Filed an Extension
