by Reuven Arazi

The Chaya Aydel Seminary, celebrating this year its decade of existence in Hallandale Beach, Florida, has become renowned throughout the world in training future Shluchos, high school graduates from around the world, who after their year in Seminary in Florida, are usually inclined to go out on Shlichus. A huge percentage of Seminary graduates, after they married, have taken up positions as Shluchos, serving in the capacity of Rebbitzens, teachers, and co-directors of Chabad Houses throughout the globe.

In addition to an intense learning program, that features twenty different teachers each week, in subjects that range from in depth Chassidus to hands on Halacha, from Educational Psychology to Teacher Training, the Seminary also features a unique opportunity to explore their talents in a wide range of Shlichus opportunities. These experiences include assisting in the organization of the Worlds’ Largest Chanukah Festival, the South Florida Lag B’omer Parades, as well as a weekly Learning Outreach Program every Wednesday night, for girls and women in the tri-county area (Broward, Dade and Palm Beach), Hebrew Homework Night in Florida for boys and girls, and weekly visits to nusing homes.

Rabbi Yossy Lebovics, principal of the Seminary since its inception, points out that girls from some 20 countries have attended the Chaya Aydel Seminary. “The combination of an intense learning program, offered by the huge talent base of teachers in South Florida, and the interaction with the dynamic staff of Chabad of South Broward in many Hafotzah projects”, has contributed greatly to the success and popularity of our Seminary. The Seminary is named after the late Mrs. Chaya Aydel Lebovics, z”’l, a renowned and talented Mechaneches from Montreal. Mrs. Lebovics was the mother of Rabbi Lebovics, and older sister of Rabbi Raphael Tennenhaus, dean of the Seminary and director of Chabad of South Broward.
