Unified Community

In Memory of Rabbi Eli Schlanger: This campus is dedicated to the memory of Rabbi Eli Schlanger, 41, assistant rabbi of Chabad of Bondi, who was murdered in the December 14, 2025 terror attack at a Chanukah celebration at Bondi Beach in Sydney. A father of five devoted to building Jewish community, his legacy lives on through this memorial campus.

Our Vision

On 227 acres in Southbury, Connecticut, we are building something unprecedented: an integrated campus where seniors learn Torah with purpose, children bring laughter to the corridors, special needs individuals find belonging, and families gather for celebration and comfort.

This is the Eli Schlanger Memorial Campus—a living legacy that transforms tragedy into light. We honor Rabbi Eli Schlanger's memory by continuing what he devoted his life to: building Jewish community. In the spirit of the Bondi community and the resilience of the Jewish people, we build light where there was darkness.

From IBM to Am Yisrael

For 37 years, this campus served one of the world's largest corporations. Thousands of people came here every day to work on technology, data, and business.

Now it will serve a different purpose. The buildings that once housed servers will house Torah. The cafeteria that fed corporate employees will feed the hungry. What served commerce will serve kedusha.
