About Us

shapeimage_6Rabbi Shimon Kashani received his ordination from the prestigious Rabbinical College of America in Morristown New Jersey at the age of 20. Considered by many a prodigy and “a few steps ahead of his time” Rabbi Kashani was sent to Los Angeles over 20 years ago by the Lubavitcher Rebbe Rabbi MenachemMendel Schneerson to serve as his emissary. Together with his wife Vered, they work tirelessly to make the world a better place.

To this day, we continue to help hundreds of people, including immigrants and the poor, offering them a job, a meal, or whatever else they may need. Hundreds are inspired at our weekly Parsha Shiurim, daily Minyanim, and daily Daf Yomi Shiurim. Through our work, dozens of Jewish women have been taught the laws of family purity and have immersed in our Mikvah for the first time. Dozens more attended our challah baking classes and recited the blessing for the first time. We responded and attended to many emergency calls providing consoling, support and guidance, and we continue to do so now.campers had a blast this summer in our 26th year running the “Beverly Hills DayCamp”.
