The building
How we came to be building a permanent home on Almaden Expressway — and what will be inside it.
The Chabad House here got its start in 2020. In December 2021, a fire destroyed our center. What had been built over those first years was gone in a night.
The community's answer was to buy rather than rent. Together we purchased a permanent building at 5580 Almaden Expressway, San Jose, CA — ours, and not going anywhere.
The building becomes a full-service center for Jewish life: a permanent home for Chabad of Silicon Valley. A place for learning, prayer, celebration, and the ordinary weekday business of a community that has somewhere to be.
Rabbi Mendel and Mussi Weinfeld describe what they're after simply: a space where Jewish life thrives — a place where Jewish children walk out as proud Jews.
The building is bought and the work is underway, in phases. You can see what each phase covers on the building plans page, and the ways to be part of it on the giving page.
Gifts can be made by card, PayPal, bank transfer, Zelle, Venmo or check — the details for each are here.
Tell us when you would like to come and what you would like to know. We will tell you what stage the work is at.
