New Shluchim Bring Young Jewish Families Initiative to Midtown Miami

Rabbi Mendel and Rochie Gopin, together with their daughter Moussia, have moved to Midtown Miami to join the community’s growing team of shluchim.
They will work alongside head shliach Rabbi Shmuel Gopin at Chabad at Midtown Miami, reaching Yidden in Midtown, Edgewater, Wynwood and the Design District.
For Rabbi Mendel Gopin, the move is also a return home. He grew up in the community his father founded and leads. After living in Crown Heights, he and his wife are now taking on their own part in its continued growth.
A central focus of their work will be YJF – Young Jewish Families, a new chapter serving the needs of growing families. They will also help with Chabad at Midtown’s existing programs and its Chabad Young Professionals chapter.
Their arrival follows another expansion two years ago, when Rabbi Mendel and Libby Potash joined Rabbi Shmuel and Chana Gopin to lead the Jewish Business Network and develop the community’s work with local businesspeople.
Chabad at Midtown has launched a $50,000 campaign to support the new initiatives. Its campaign page welcomes the Gopins and describes the demand for more opportunities for Jewish connection, mitzvos and family programming as the community grows.
Details are available at midtownjewish.org/yjf.
