Help Us Welcome Heschel & Doba
to Harford County
They’re coming to teach, to connect, to build. Let’s make sure they can.
Why Now?
The need is real. From adults rediscovering Judaism after decades away, to kids who feel different just for being Jewish; Harford Chabad is here to offer community, education, and connection.
And now, as our new building is completed, we're growing. To meet the demand, we’re bringing in a new couple Rabbi Heschel and Doba Yarmush to expand our reach and deepen our impact.
Who Are Heschel & Doba?
Rabbi Heschel Yarmush is a gifted teacher and Torah scholar. For years, he’s helped people find meaning in Judaism even if they haven’t studied since childhood. At Harford Chabad, he’ll lead adult education and one-on-one learning, helping people reconnect with their Jewish roots in a warm and welcoming way.
Doba Yarmush (nee Raskin) is an experienced educator with a passion for kids experiencing Judaism. She’ll expand youth programs, lead holiday experiences, and create new opportunities for children to learn, celebrate, and belong.
Our Goal
We’re raising $72,000 to fully fund this next chapter bringing Heschel and Doba on board, launching new programming, and setting the stage for long-term growth.
