Grow Your Judaism,
One Mitzvah at a Time
The world changes one good deed at a time. Choose a mitzvah below, make it yours and add light to the world!
Tefillin
Tefillin are the small leather boxes a Jewish man binds on his arm and head each weekday morning, containing scrolls of the Shema. They connect heart, mind, and action to G‑d, and they bring spiritual protection to the entire Jewish people.
Want to put on tefillin? The Rabbi will come to you, at home, at work, or anywhere.
Shabbat Candles
Lighting candles before sunset on Friday ushers peace and holiness into the home, a mitzvah cherished by Jewish women and girls for generations. Each flame adds literal and spiritual light to the world.
Jewish Education
Raising the next generation with a love for their heritage. Giving a child a Jewish education is one of the greatest gifts a family can offer.
Chabad of Winter Garden runs a Hebrew School for grades K-8, plus a Bar Mitzvah Club and a Bat Mitzvah Club.
Charity
Giving tzedakah is more than charity; it’s an act of justice that sustains the world. It’s given daily, even a small amount, and ideally before prayer.
We’ll send a charity box (pushka) for your home or office.
Mezuzah
A mezuzah is a hand-written scroll affixed to the doorposts of a Jewish home, declaring G‑d’s presence and watching over everyone who passes through. Every Jewish home should have one on its front door, and ideally on every interior doorway.
Torah Study
Torah is the Jewish people’s living wisdom, and studying it at any level, in any amount, is one of the highest mitzvos. An hour of learning is open to everyone, beginner to scholar.
Set up a private, one-on-one learning session with the Rabbi, at your pace and on a topic of your choice.
We offer about three in-depth courses a year through the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute. See what’s coming up.
A Letter in a Torah Scroll
A Torah scroll contains 304,805 letters, and if even one is missing or flawed, the entire scroll is unfit, a powerful reminder that every single Jew is essential to the whole. Every Jew, and every Jewish child, can have a letter of their own written into a communal Torah scroll, uniting the entire Jewish people in a single Torah.
A Home Full of Jewish Books
A Jewish home should be filled with Torah books, so that wisdom is always within reach for adults and children alike. The seforim on your shelf shape the spirit of your home.

Keeping Kosher
Keeping kosher means eating in a way that elevates the everyday act of eating into something holy. It’s a daily, tangible connection to Jewish life, and easier to start than most people think.
Request the Rabbi’s help to make your home kitchen kosher.
Love of a Fellow Jew
The mitzvah to love every Jew as you love yourself. It sits at the heart of everything: caring for one another, judging favorably, and reaching out. It’s the foundation all the other campaigns are built on.
Family Purity
The Torah’s framework for intimacy and holiness in marriage, centered on the mikvah. It’s considered one of the foundations of a Jewish home, bringing depth, sanctity, and renewal to married life.
Reach out privately to meet with Sheina and learn more about family purity.
The Mitzvah Campaigns
The mitzvah campaigns were launched by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory. It began in 1967, in the tense weeks before the Six-Day War, when the Rebbe called on Jews everywhere to put on tefillin as a source of strength and protection for the Jewish people. In the years that followed he introduced one campaign after another, each a single, practical mitzvah that any Jew could take on and share with another. His vision was simple and profound: every good deed adds light, and enough light transforms the world.
