Rabbi Sruly and Devora Leah Brook, along with their daughter Dusia are establishing a permanent Chabad presence in Wakefield, Ma. and its surrounding towns. Conveniently located just north of Boston, Wakefield has seen the massive infusion of youth and families over the last few years.
Establishing a permanent presence in the area was a long time coming, said Rabbi Yossi Lipsker, director of Chabad of the North Shore. It was turning into a destination for many young families looking to settle down and plant roots in an area that was both affordable, yet still overloaded with charm, communal warmth, and natural beauty.
The inspiration to accelerate the opening of the 7th North Shore Chabad Center, in the aftermath of October 7th, was an immense Am Yisroel Chai —esque, motivational factor.”
Rabbi Sruly and his family are dynamic, energetic and motivated, and their excitement for Judaism, and spreading its positive messages are just what Wakefield needs and it comes at the perfect time.
