1922-2022. A legacy of answering yes.
The Midwest in the early 1900’s was a spiritual wasteland with a
nominal Jewish presence. If the fledgling community was to stand a
chance at survival, it was clear there was much to be done. In 1922,
the Zidichover Rebbe, HaRav Yehoshua Heschel Eichenstein zt”l, and
Rebbetzin arrived in Chicago determined to lay the foundation for a
viable Jewish future. They would spend the rest of their lives
answering every imaginable Jewish need — physical and spiritual.
One hundred years and five generations later, Chicago is the spiritual
epicenter of the Midwest, and the Rebbe’s commitment to serving and
elevating the community continues through the work of the Chicago
Center.
